Do I need business/management/economic knowledge for European business schools?

In principle, no specific knowledge of economics/business/management is required - though this may vary by school. Of course, it is advantageous if you already know about economic topics.

At European business schools, however, you are given a well-founded introduction to all the important economic/management/business theories and topics. After that, you attend modules that build on the basic knowledge and you often have the opportunity to specialize. An interest in what is happening in the economy, business and management is a must.

For some schools, in addition to sending in your CV and diplomas, you also have to go through a multi-stage application process. Here, the performance and study ability are individually tested. Such an application procedure usually includes a personality test, knowledge test, individual interviews and a final counseling session.

It is best to contact the European business school of your choice directly. This way you will learn more about the admission requirements as well as the application procedure. At the same time, you have the opportunity to find out whether you fulfill the requirements.
