While the application windows are open: An application will only be considered if it is complete by the application window deadline. MSM Admissions will let you know if anything is missing or required. An incomplete application will automatically be moved to the next rolling application window. The outcome of your application will be shared within 10-15 working days after the deadline of the application window in which you submitted your application. 

Equally important is the ability to schedule the interview at short notice - especially if you are applying close to the rolling deadline. Even if your application is complete, if you do not have your interview in time, it will automatically be moved to the next rolling deadline window.

Please note that once the programme has reached its maximum capacity the following application round(s) will close. Confirmation of attendance is considered once tuition fee payment has been made. We therefore recommend applying and paying your tuition fee as soon as possible. Once the class is full, we will give you the option to defer to next year, or potentially convert your application to the Global Online MBA.
