PGP MFAB candidates must demonstrate a genuine commitment to advancing their family enterprise legacy. A candidate must hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification and be an active family business member committed to advancing their enterprise. While no mandatory work experience is necessary, 2-4 years of business exposure enhances programme outcomes. Our selective process prioritises applicants demonstrating genuine passion for creating impact while balancing tradition with innovation.

Applications are open for the PGP MFAB Class of 2027. We operate a staggered admission process with two deadlines for each intake. While competition is the same across all rounds, the earlier you gain admission, the more time you will have to secure financing and arrange related logistics. Applicants in earlier rounds also get preference in the allotment of scholarships. The online application for each round opens approximately two months before the application deadline for that round. Know more about our application deadlines and special instructions below.
