IE Business School

Candidates must hold an MBA, a very high level of English is required and, at least 5 years of Management experience are necessary. Candidates will be required to submit a research proposal of 2000-3000 words explaining their research aims and interest. IE will only consider applications for which the school can provide appropriate supervision in the chosen subject.

The application form provides the Evaluation Committee with fundamental information when it comes to evaluating candidates. It is, therefore, essential that this provides detailed information on relevant academic and professional achievements, together with concerns, aspirations, and motivations that could support your application. You can either apply online or in writing. We will require official academic transcripts of university studies, which must be translated into English or Spanish. The application must be submitted in English.

The demanding nature of the DBA program requires a very strict recruitment process. We want students who are willing to devote their time, effort and knowledge to research. For this reason, only exceptional candidates will be selected.

Once the candidate submits the application form, the Evaluation Committee gathers to select only the best students. If you are willing to apply, we highly recommend you to do it before January as the demand is very high.

Interview

The DBA committee will evaluate each application form after the reception of all the required documents and will then decide which candidates will be invited for an interview.
