How to apply to an IMD Open Program

4. Learning objectives and key challenges (not required for OWP program)
5. Invoice information
Confirm your availability and accept our terms & conditions.

Your application is reviewed to ensure the program matches your goals and profile. This process usually takes around one week.

You might be contacted for a short call (depending on the program).

Once approved, you receive an email with:
1. Enrollment confirmation
2. Invoice and payment details

Payment is due within 30 days of invoice or before the program starts (whichever comes first).

Up to six weeks before the program starts, you gain access to the learning portal, where you can start diving into pre-work, explore program content, and in some cases connect with your class. A dedicated Program Coordinator will contact you with practical details, such as pre-program preparation and hotel information (for on-campus programs).

Until then, our Client Services Specialist team ([email protected]) is your go-to for any questions.
