STEP 3
Selection process
- 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.
