MBA

We highly value post-degree full-time professional experience. We’ve found that applicants with full-time work experience tend to have greater maturity and self-awareness. These qualities contribute significantly to future success. On average, Sasin MBA students have three years of meaningful work experience and demonstrate clear management potential. However, we do not preclude applications from exceptional younger applicants with little full-time work experience, provided they can demonstrate maturity and an ability to contribute to the class learning experience. However, at least one year of post-degree, full-time work experience is required.  

Interviews are required for admission to the Sasin MBA Program. Interviews are normally conducted with representatives of Sasin faculty, administrators, and alumni. We have found that interviews provide essential insights into applicants’ abilities and motivation to complete the MBA program. Interviews also provide you with an opportunity to discuss the Sasin MBA program and raise questions of concern. Interviews, whether on campus or online, will be arranged and conducted only after the online application has been submitted to the Admissions Office.  

Your application can be completed most conveniently online. This is the best way to apply. As you work on your application, be sure to save frequently. You can come back as often as you like to add materials: until you hit the final submit. Be sure to complete as many of the questions on the application as possible:

• you must complete those that have a red star. You will not be able to submit your application without these.
• remember the more you tell us about your education, experiences, and interests, the better we can evaluate your suitability for our program,
• and the more likely you are to be accepted.

If you have any questions, please contact our Admissions team, at [email protected].
