Application and Admissions
Applications for the autumn 2025 intake are now open! Our admissions process operates in fixed rounds. Applying early allows you to secure your spot in the programme.
Key Application Dates
Admission to the MAS MTEC is competitive. We recommend applying early and not waiting for the final application deadline. If you apply early, you can secure your spot in the programme. We will also organise a dedicated event in the spring to support early applicants in their journey to becoming MAS MTEC students.
Application Process
1. Submit Application
Complete your application online by one of our application deadlines. The School for Continuing Education (SCE) manages the application process and provides all necessary information on its website. You can apply via the online application tool eApply, which is linked on the SCE website during the application period. Ensure all required documents (see below) are ready before applying.
Unsure if your profile is the right fit?
Contact us, and we will be pleased to do a external page profile assessment for you.
2. Application Verification
The School for Continuing Education verifies all applications for completeness and adherence to formal criteria. If your application is incomplete, the School for Continuing Education will contact you to rectify the situation.
3. Application Review
The MAS MTEC Admissions Committee will review your application to assess your fit for our programme.
4. Personal One-to-One
If selected for the next step, a member of the Admissions Committee will email you shortly after the application deadline to organise a one-to-one meeting. The session will last 30 minutes and is conducted online using Microsoft Teams. It will cover professional, personal, and career-related topics. We recommend that you prepare thoroughly in advance of the meeting.
5. Accepting an Offer and Payment
If your application is successful, a member of the Admissions Committee will contact you by phone or email after all one-to-ones have been conducted for the deadline you applied. If you receive an offer, you are automatically enrolled in the programme. You have 30 days to deregister for the programme at no cost. For later withdrawals, you will be charged a fee (see details below)
