International Master of Business Administration

Academic Requirements

1. A Bachelor’s Degree (second class first division, second class second division, or third class honours) from a recognized UK university or a Nepalese equivalent in any discipline.

2. A recommendation letter from a tutor or employer who has overseen the applicant’s undergraduate studies or professional work.

3. Applicants can also apply through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway, as per the RPL Handbook. This may involve accreditation of formal learning or recognition of work-based experience.

English Language Proficiency

Applicants must provide proof of English language ability. This can be a certificate or letter from the previous institution (e.g., college/university where the undergraduate program was completed) confirming that the program was taught and assessed in English.

If this criterion is not met, applicants can submit one of the following recognized English test scores:

• IELTS: Overall score of 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in each section

• Pearson PTE (Academic): Minimum overall score of 50

• Cambridge English (CCAE & CPE): Minimum score of 162 in all components (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking)

• TOEFL iBT: Minimum overall score of 60

Applicants without formal qualifications but with relevant managerial experience may still be considered. In such cases, admission will depend on an assessment of the applicant’s potential to succeed in and benefit from the program.

International Master of Business Administration (IMBA) is a 2-year program by the University of Wolverhampton.
