To be eligible for a Master’s programme (such as Master in Business Management (MBA) or Master in International Relations), you must hold a bachelor’s degree with at least 180 ECTS (or an equivalent international qualification) from an accredited institution. 

You need to submit a completed application form, a recent CV, a letter of motivation (about 1,500 words) explaining your academic and professional goals, and one letter of recommendation. 

You must demonstrate sufficient English proficiency, typically with a **TOEFL score of 580 iBT / 80 iBT or an IELTS score of at least 6.0. If your previous degree was taught entirely in English, you may provide an official letter confirming this in lieu of a test score. 

A non-refundable registration fee of €150 is required when submitting your application.

Visa/Residency Eligibility (Important for Non-EU Students)

As of the current admissions update, IBSH cannot sponsor student visas (referent status) for non-EU/non-EEA applicants for Master’s programmes in the Netherlands. This means most on-campus postgraduate applications are only open to EU/EEA students or students opting for the live-stream online mode.
