Academic Requirements
Sasin welcomes applications from graduates of all fields, but requires a minimum seven years work experience, normally after the first degree (or five years experience after a master’s degree).
Evaluation Process
Selection is based on the Admissions Committee’s careful evaluation of the applicant’s academic history, English Proficiency Test results, recommendations, work experience, interviews, and commitment to completion of the program. However, the most important of the above is work experience, particularly the applicant’s work history, current role and responsibilities in his or her organization. Applicants must have a minimum of seven years of work experience.
For the benefit of participants, sponsoring organizations and the program itself, the Committee seeks a group of participants holding comparable managerial responsibilities but reflecting diverse skills and experience.
In addition to academic promise, the Admissions Committee considers these factors: Does the applicant’s organizational sponsor consider that he or she has outstanding promise and potential within the organization?
Does the applicant have, or will he or she soon have, a position of executive responsibility that makes the program of value in furthering his or her career?
Does the applicant have both the time and the motivation to make a two-year commitment to attend classes and prepare assignments?
Although GMAT is not required for admission, it is desirable that EMBA participants should have a certain level of quantitative background.
Assessment of international degrees is based on the characteristics of the national system of education, the type of institution attended, and the level of studies completed.
English Proficiency Test (ITP TOEFL)
Proficiency in reading, listening, writing and speaking English is necessary. Classes and group work require strong language skills. All non-native English speaking applicants are required to take the English Proficiency Test which is scheduled on Sunday, February 17, 2008 from 8.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. at Sasin. Applicants may submit their scores on TOEFL iBT (Internet-based Testing) or TOEFL CBT (Computer-based Testing) and be exempted from the Sasin English Proficiency Test.
Interviews
Interviews are required for admission to the EMBA Program and are conducted by the Sasin Admissions Committee which is made up of Sasin Administrators, Faculty and EMBA alumni. The interviews are used not only to provide additional insight into the applicant’s ability and desire to complete the EMBA program, but also to provide an opportunity for applicants to discuss the EMBA program and raise questions of concern to them. Interviews will be arranged and conducted only after the application and all supporting documents have been submitted to the Admissions Office.
Academic Transcripts
An official transcript from each college/university or professional school previously attended is required. Transcripts must be in English and prepared by the issuing institution. If the institution will not provide a translation, Sasin will accept translations from the embassy or consulate of the institution’s country or its designated agent. A copy of transcript and a copy of the degree certificate are required of all applicants prior to the admission interviews.
Letters of Recommendation
Two letters of recommendation are required from peers and/or supervisors who know the applicant well, preferably from someone within the applicant’s current/or previous organization. The most helpful recommendations demonstrate an awareness of the applicant’s management potential.
Letter of Corporate Sponsorship
A written approval for attendance in the EMBA Program as well as confirmation of sponsorship from the sponsoring organization is required of those who will be supported by their organization.
