To be considered for a place in the program, candidates must be able to demonstrate that they possess the essential qualities required from tomorrow’s business managers and leaders: Intellectual capacity, managerial potential, personal motivation and maturity, and interpersonal skills. To assess these qualities we carefully consider biographical and academic background information, employment history and distinctions, GMAT score, if available (optional), English language proficiency (demonstrated through the Proficiency certificate and/or the TOEFL/IELTS scores, and the interview), extracurricular achievements, service to the community, letters of recommendation, awards and honors received, and University and community involvement, especially where candidates have served in leadership capacities. The Admissions Committee seeks to create a community of students who bring unique contributions from their diverse backgrounds and experiences and who will collectively enrich the educational experience.

Work experience is a requirement for admission to the program. For the Part Time program, candidates should have at least five (5) years of working experience.

GMAT is not mandatory for the Part time Program.However, if a candidate has taken the test and the score is above 550, he/she is suggested to submit it.

All qualified applicants will go through interview. Interviews are conducted mainly by AUEB faculty members and, in some cases, by alumni of the program. International candidates, due to distance, may go through telephone interviews, or with interviews only with alumni from their country. Interviews are held after the submission of the application, and once it has been confirmed that the candidate fulfills the minimum admission requirements that have been set by the Admissions Committee.

For that matter, there are both public and private institutions, which offer Greek language courses.
