Global BBA admissions
We are excited to get to get to know candidates during the BBA admissions process. We aim to select well-rounded candidates who will not only succeed in the programme, but also add value, contribute meaningfully and help create a learning environment in which all participants reach their full potential.
We seek to fill our BBA classes with the most promising students in terms of motivation, commitment and growth potential.
Successful candidates tend to possess the following qualities, which are closely linked to growth: open-mindedness, flexibility and adaptability.

All candidates interested in applying for the second year must go through the same admission process explained above and have studied a degree equivalent to a Degree in Business Administration.
The minimum requirement to be able to apply in the second year, in addition to having obtained a high school diploma, is to have obtained 60 ECTS at your current university.
EADA only accepts 1st year students from other universities to enter the 2nd year of the programme. See our transfer student FAQ here.
Global BBA Admission rounds
EADA has several admission rounds for our undergraduate programmes. Applicants must fill out the online application form, upload all of the required documents, pay the application fee and do the interview with the programme director before the corresponding deadline to be considered for an admission round. We recommend completing your application package on the online admissions platform 2 weeks before the admission round deadline to ensure that you have time to complete the remaining steps.
Applying early will ensure that candidates have ample time to complete the visa process as well as any supplementary language work required. For candidates interested in scholarships, we strongly recommend applying to the early admission rounds.
Candidates who are admitted will have 15 days from the date of admission to enroll in the programme.
Once all of the places in the programme have been filled, a waiting list is opened.
