GMAT Support: GMAT is not a requirement for admission to WBS programmes. As part of the formal application process to QTEM you will need to submit your GMAT score. A minimum GMAT score of 650 is required. We strongly encourage you to complete the GMAT assessment process before commencing your studies at Warwick as you will find you will have very little free time to do this once you start your Masters. During your GMAT test you should select both Warwick Business School (QTEM) and QTEM as two of your five schools to receive your GMAT official score report.

Spring Term:  Monday 10 January 2022 – Saturday 19 March 2022
Summer Term:  Monday 25 April 2022 – Saturday 2 July 2022

Information for incoming students is available here:
https://www.wbs.ac.uk/courses/postgraduate/qtem/incoming-students/

For the Spring Term, modules are taught across the duration of the term, so you will be studying your modules simultaneously. We expect all students to arrive no later than Monday 10th January to be inducted and begin their studies, and students will be required to be on campus until at least Saturday 19th March to complete their teaching. It is then up to the student if they wish to stay in the UK until their exams in late April/early May, or to return home and come back.

For the Summer Term, the modules are block taught, which means each module is taught either across one or two weeks. This means you may have weeks during the term that you are not undertaking any face to face study. The total face to face study for the Summer Term will be four weeks. However, we will be running an induction for students in the week beginning Monday 25th April, and all students will need to be on campus until the end of the term for the Business in Practice module, so we would recommend that students are resident in the UK for the duration of the Summer Term. The Summer Term modules do not have exams.

Students will have the same overall workload (including face to face hours) in both terms; the teaching is simply spread differently.

Special rules for courses: The courses we offer will not have formal pre-requisite requirements, but our courses do assume some previous study in certain areas.  

Areas of specialisation: Pathways as above.

Dedicated local services and events: 

• WBS CareersPlus – contact via careersplus@wbs.ac.uk
• Welcome event will be organized for incoming QTEM students to introduce programme team and personal tutoring support.
• If you need help securing somewhere to stay during your studies, Warwick Accommodation is on hand to help you. They offer a range of off-campus options. We would recommend staying south of the campus, in the towns of Kenilworth or Leamington Spa. Both have great bus links and plenty of lovely places for eating and drinking.
