Previous knowledge

The BSE Executive Education Courses are taught at a high academic standard. The level of the material is equivalent to what is presented in our Master’s programs. Successful candidates will usually demonstrate one or more of the following in an application to our courses:

• A strong background in Economics or a field closely related to the course topic (Statistics, Law, etc.)
• Postgraduate degree or current Master’s/PhD studies related to the course topic
• Relevant professional experience

Suitability of the course

Before confirming their attendance to an Executive Education course, applicants are responsible for establishing the relevance and suitability of it for their individual requirements, through consideration of the information supplied on our webpage, or asking questions to the Admissions Counselors to verify their eligibility, if necessary.

English language proficiency

All courses are taught entirely in English. While no language certificate is required at the moment of application, participants are expected to have enough command of the language to follow and benefit from the course without causing disruption to the development of the class.
