2. Essays

The essays are an opportunity to tell us more about yourself. Use the essays to detail your interests, values and goals. We are interested in what motivates you, evidence of leadership and team work, and why you are looking to pursue an MBA at this point in your life. The essays are a vital part of your application and thus we recommend that you spend a significant amount of time in their preparation.

3. Curriculum vitae (CV)

Please provide a CV. This CV should be not longer than one page. If you have any significant gaps in your employment history, please tell us in the personal interview.

4. Two letters of recommendation

Your two references should be from people who know you well and are in a position to comment on your suitability for the MBA Programme. One referee could be from a current or previous employer, a colleague, or someone else who knows you well at work; the other referee could be someone who taught you at university or knows you in a professional capacity. IBR Institute of International Business Relations reserves the right to contact your referees for further information in connection with your application.
