Application Process

The Otago MBA's rolling admissions process means applications are considered as they are received. Applications are open for the next intake starting April 2014. Our class size is small and seats are limited.

Register your Interest

Click on register your interest and complete a simple online form. If you meet our basic entrance criteria, our admissions manager will call you to discuss the programme with you and answer any questions you may have before applying.

The Application Process

Following on from your initial discussion with the admissions manager, you can start the application process by sending us your CV. We will review your CV and we may then invite you to attend an interview.

The Interview

You will be invited to attend an interview with our admissions panel, this will be an interview by Skype or video conference. Candidates are asked to make a presentation (maximum of 5 minutes) on a topic of your choice. This will then be followed by a series of interview questions from the panel.

Candidates will also have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the interview.

The interview is your opportunity to demonstrate your motivation and commitment, your strengths and weaknesses, and your expectations of the Otago MBA and how it will impact your career.

Meet the Director

If your interview is successful you will be invited to attend a final interview and discussion by Skype or video conference with the Director of the Otago MBA.

Confirmation of an Offer

If you are successful in obtaining a place on the Otago MBA, you will receive an official letter confirming your acceptance onto the programme. At this point you will need to apply for admission to the University of Otago, and supply further information to confirm your place. This may include a deposit, GMAT test result, English Language test results, references, original documents, and an ECE evaluation of your qualifications.
