APPLICATION PROCESS
IBEI strongly suggests applying through the online application form.
The admission process is conducted on a rolling basis, thus applications can be submitted at any time during the year before 23 July 2010. Candidates are strongly encouraged though to apply early in the previous academic year since they need time to gather all the required documents and sort out their funding.
