Applications will be reviewed after each deadline.

Deadline I: November 30, 2020 (strongly recommended for third-country nationals!)

Deadline II: January 30, 2021

Deadline III: May 10, 2021

After each application deadline and once all applications have been reviewed, a list of accepted students will be sent to the Admissions Office. We strongly advise third-country nationals to submit an application before the first deadline as the admissions and visa procedures can be complex and you will be expected to begin your studies (online) in July 2021 and September 2021 (on-site). In this regard, you must be admitted by July so you may be on-site at the JKU by September (meaning you must hold a valid visa). Austrian and EU students have more flexibility to choose a deadline. We encourage you, however, to submit your application as early as possible to take advantage of having the time to plan your next steps more easily.

The process begins by entering your personal information, meaning you will be asked to complete an online form providing your personal information. You will then be asked to select your major. The procedure consists of two parts:

• Registration: Provide your contact information and create a JKU account
• Admission: Select your major and provide information about your educational background, etc.

Submit your application via the online form for the 2021/2022 academic year. If you need assistance, contact us via e-mail.

The application must include the following:

• Letter of Intent
• Current CV
• Certificates and academic transcripts
• A copy of your Bachelor's thesis
• Proof of required proficiency in English (Level C1)
• GMAT score* (min. 600 points, not older than two years) 

Important information regarding certificates and academic transcripts:

• If you have not studied under the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS system), please provide detailed information about your grading and academic credit system so we can evaluate the number f hours you have spent on a particular module.

Important information regarding the GMAT:

• If you hold a degree from outside of the European Economic Area (a non-EEA degree), you will be asked to take the GMAT. 
• If you hold an undergraduate or graduate degree that does not include courses in Business Administration, you will be asked to take the GMAT. 
• The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is a standardized, internationally recognized examination conducted around the world. Please note that you will need time to prepare for the examination (a minimum of 8 weeks; up to 6 months). Click here for detailed information.

The top-scoring candidates will receive an invitation to take part in an oral interview in English. If successful, you will be nominated for admission to the program (Step 4).

Candidates selected during the interview process (Step 3) will be nominated for admission to the program.

Applicants must fulfill the university's admission requirements in order to be admitted. Please send all of the required documents per e-mail to: admission@jku.at. If you are an international applicant, please see: International Educational Qualifications.
