Requirements

Entry requirements for the MBA online are the same as the on-campus equivalent. For those whose first language is not English, we offer University Access Program which gives you the opportunity to reach the standard proficiency requirements.

Essentially, whether you choose to study our MBA on-campus or online, they both end in the same result; you will graduate from UCW qualified to take on any managerial role, with the skills and confidence to do so.

Applicants to the MBA program may qualify for admission based on the following requirements:

  1. If your first language is not English, submit an IELTS score of at least 6.5 (minimum 6.0 in the writing band) or equivalent (TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo, etc.) OR successful completion of UCW’s University Access Program (UAP) with a Grade Point Average of at least 70%. If your first language is English and you can demonstrate that you graduated from a recognized degree in an English-speaking country, the English IELTS score or equivalent requirement is waived.
