How do I apply?
Applicants should complete and submit the application form. Applications can be made by individuals acting independently or in conjunction with an employer. Where an employer supports an application, it is helpful if the employer can supply a covering letter confirming this along with outline plans for the candidate’s subsequent career development.

What happens next?
Application forms are assessed and short-listed candidates will be contacted within 4 weeks. They will then be invited to complete an on-line personality questionnaire. On securing a place at their chosen business school, a selection of candidates will then be invited to a Selection Panel where the final decision is reached. Invitations to attend Selection Panels are subject to the availability of places.

When should I apply?
Applications can be made at any time but, as there is considerable pressure on the application procedure for both the business schools and the scheme, it is recommended that candidates apply as early as possible, ideally four months before the intended date of entry into business school.
