Financial aid
IMD's Executive MBA Program does not offer any financial aid or scholarships. There are, however, a number of organizations and loan programs which you may be eligible for. Our full time MBA program has assembled the various possibilities. It is important to verify whether the tax relief, loans, or grants are available to Executive MBA participants (some apply only to full time study).
If you are admitted to the Executive MBA program, but find that you are unable to attend, you must notify IMD in writing to either cancel or transfer to the next available session. In the case of cancellation, the CHF 10,000 deposit plus any fees paid for program modules that have already started are non-refundable. Additional cancellation and transfer fees may apply, as described below. Up to 6 weeks before the start of PED or AEDP Module 1* From 6 weeks up to 11 days before the start of PED or AEDP Module 1* Within 10 days before the start of PED or AEDP Module 1* PED Module 2 transfer EMBA Modules 1 to 4 transfer Note: IMD programs tend to be fully booked in advance. Space may not be available in later sessions. Note: Once you have paid the program fee, if you intend to transfer but do not attend another program within 24 months, you forfeit the program fee. |
Process and invoicing
You send your completed application to the Information and Registration Office, which forwards it to the IMD Executive MBA Admissions Committee for assessment. Assessment takes approximately three weeks. During this time, you will receive an e-mail asking you to submit a purchase order number if required. The Information and Registration Office will notify you of the outcome of the Admissions Committee review. If you are accepted, the Information and Registration Office will send you an acceptance letter and tuition fee invoices by priority mail, and the Program Coordinators will contact you around six weeks before the program start date to give you information on hotels and pre-program preparation.
