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.

Term Dates 2019/2020

Teaching will take place during the term dates below.  However, if you are undertaking modules in the Spring Term, you will be required to attend examinations in late April/early May

Spring Term:  Monday 6 January 2020 – Saturday 14 March 2020
Summer Term:  Monday 20 April 2020 – Saturday 27 June 2020

Information for incoming students in 2018-19 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 6th January to be inducted and begin their studies, and students will be required to be on campus until at least Saturday 14 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 20th 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.

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 specialization: Pathways as above.
