Find all the frequently asked questions about the application process on the SKEMA Apply platform.
I'm hesitating between an MSc and an MS, can I apply to both programmes? It is strongly recommended that you have a clear vision of your career plans, which should help you in your choice of application. However, there is nothing to stop you applying for both the MSc and the MS. However, you will have to pay the application fee twice.
Can I apply for several MS specialisations? No, you can only apply for one specialisation. If you are not accepted, you can apply for another MS specialisation, but this must also correspond to your career plan.
Do I need to have a promise of employment before I apply? It is not compulsory to have a promise of employment before you apply, but it is a plus for your interview. If you haven't already found a job, we can help you find a work-linked training scheme.
I've started to put my application together but I can't finalise it straight away. Can I complete it at a later date? Yes, any application you have started can be saved so that you can complete it at a later date. However, we would remind you that places are limited, so we strongly recommend that you apply as soon as possible.
Is my choice of campus final once my application has been validated? Yes, no change of campus will be accepted once you have been admitted.
