• Online interview
• Motivational interview
• Written assignment (for relevant programmes only)

Online interview: If you are deemed eligible, you will automatically receive an invitation by email to log in to interview.kedge.edu and select an interview date from the available time slots. We strongly recommend booking your interview as soon as possible, so that you have the widest choice of time slots and enough time to organise yourself around a date that suits you. If you have not booked an interview, the Admissions Team will contact you and assign you a slot from the available times during the next session.

Motivational interview: The motivational interview lasts 20 to 30 minutes and is conducted in English. Its purpose is to learn more about each candidate’s personality, academic background and professional goals, and to assess their fit with the DNA and content of the chosen programme.

The interview is not intended to unsettle or put candidates in difficulty, but rather to clarify the programme’s expectations in relation to the candidate’s expectations and skills, in order to support a successful academic journey.

Written assignment (for relevant programmes only): Before the motivational interview, you may be asked to complete a written assignment sent by email. This assignment must be returned to the jury by email before the motivational interview and will be used to assess the relevance of your application in relation to the profile sought. The format of the written assignment varies depending on the programme and may include a case study, text analysis, theoretical quiz, etc. Any specific instructions for each programme will be provided in due course.

Following the selection process, you will receive your admission decision by email. Depending on the decision of the Programme Director and the members of the evaluation panel, you may be admitted, admitted conditionally, placed on the waiting list*, or not admitted.

The programme’s decision is final. In the event of admission, your admission letter, approved by the Programme Director, will be attached to the email.

* If you are placed on the waiting list, a final decision will be communicated within a maximum of four weeks.

In the event of admission, you will receive an invitation to log in to your future personal account. Online enrolment is a mandatory step to confirm your place for the next academic year and gain access to all KEDGE resources.

To complete your online registration, you have 10 days from the date of your admission letter to log in to your applicant area, provide the requested information and pay the deposit. No deposit will be required for first-time students enrolling in a work-study programme. After this deadline, your admission will be considered void.

To help you with these administrative procedures, please visit the Welcome KEDGE website.

The Programme Management team will then take over to help you prepare for the start of your programme.
