Eligibility

ISB EFPM aims to bring together senior executives who wish to deepen their understanding of research methods and apply them to address the modern day challenges existing in a dynamic business environment. The common denominators are superior academic credentials and a consistent display of intellectual prowess. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential. Applicants must have a strong interest in pursuing pracademic research and an insatiable thirst to approach problems as an evidence-based manager, and as a thought leader in their field.

An Executive FPM applicant must have:

Minimum 8 years of professional working experience
At least a bachelor’s degree. An MBA or business-focused master’s degree is a plus but not mandatory
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Interest in applied research and connecting theory to practice

Note: If the applicant has not taken a Microeconomics course at a Master’s level programme, he/she must complete a course of “Introductory AP Microeconomics”, offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on edX, before the programme begins.

Because of the nature of the Executive FPM programme and the level of experience required of candidates, the GMAT or GRE is not required.
