Thanks to the participation of a number of companies and institutions, the BSE is able to offer a number of tuition waivers and fully-funded scholarships based on academic merit. These highly competitive financial awards help the School attract the best and brightest international students.
At the BSE, we look for excellence and talent. Key elements of a strong application are a high GPA, a sound statement of purpose and standout reference letters. Strong knowledge in Economics and good quantitative skills are also recommended.
Application requirements:
Note that the fulfillment of the application requirements does not guarantee admission. Candidates will also be evaluated on the following admission criteria:
Undergraduate diploma and transcripts
If you have already completed your undergraduate degree when you submit your application, you will need to provide the following documents:
If you have not yet completed your undergraduate degree when you submit your application, you will need to provide the following documents:
If your diploma or transcript is not written in English, Spanish, Catalan, French, Italian, or Portuguese, you will also have to include a sworn translation.
Copy of your passport
Curriculum vitae (2 pages maximum)
Statement of purpose (1000 words maximum)
Proof of English language proficiency
Unless you are a native English speaker or have done your undergraduate degree at an English-speaking university, you must provide TOEFL, IELTS, or Cambridge scores or certificates. If you are not yet in possession of one of these language certificates, we suggest you wait to apply until you can fulfill this requirement with the documents required.
Accepted certificates include IELTS Academic Test (6,5), TOEFL (90), Duolingo English Test (minimum score 115), and Cambridge Exams (Proficiency or Advance, 180 minimum score B2-C2)
Optional but highly recommended: GRE General Test scores
The only program that requires a GRE General Test score as part of the application package is the PhD Track Program. However, applicants to all other programs are encouraged to provide a GRE score, which is often an important element for admission decisions.
A good GRE result is particularly helpful for candidates who have a Bachelor's in the social sciences or other undergraduate degree without a strong quantitative component. In previous years, the GRE score has helped directors identify candidates with excellent potential but little previous exposure to serious mathematical training. Therefore, we strongly encourage candidates to submit a GRE.
BSE institution code for GRE General Test: 2531
