Munich Business School GmbH

Bachelor: Requires a university-entrance qualification recognised in Bavaria (e.g. Abitur, IB Diploma, or equivalent international school-leaving certificate). English proficiency required: IELTS 6.5 (Academic), TOEFL iBT 85, Duolingo 115, Cambridge Grade B, or PTE 56; waived if schooling was completed in English. No specific APS certificate requirement is stated on the MBS website (MBS is a private institution with its own admissions process; APS is a German-embassy requirement for the student visa, not an MBS gate). Master: Requires a completed bachelor's degree of 180 ECTS or more; non-business graduates may enter via the Pre-Master programme. English proficiency same thresholds as bachelor. Two intakes per year: February and September. MBA: Requires a bachelor's degree in any subject plus a minimum of 2 years of relevant post-degree work experience.

IELTS 7.0 or TOEFL iBT 100 required unless degree was taught in English. Note for Indian/Chinese/Vietnamese applicants: APS certificate is required by the German Embassy as part of the student visa application, not by MBS directly. Applicants from these countries should factor in APS processing time (approximately 4 weeks for India) when planning their application timeline.
