On-campus interviews in Lausanne The interview is an essential part of our evaluation process as it allows us to get to know the person behind the application. The interview consists of a complete evaluation which incorporates the following:
- Impromptu presentation
When you arrive, you will be given a business topic on which to prepare a five minute presentation. This gives you an opportunity to demonstrate, amongst other things, your communication and presentation skills. - Case study
The IMD MBA includes extensive use of case studies. Therefore, we have included a mini case study to give you a feel for our teaching methods as well as to give us a feel for how you will contribute in this kind of setting. - Interview
Due to the small class size, we want to be sure that we meet the person behind the application. A member of the admissions committee or Faculty conducts the interview with the aim of getting to know you and developing a better understanding of your career progression and key achievements. - MBA class observation
If possible, you will sit in and observe our MBAs in the auditorium to give you the opportunity to assess us and our teaching style, just as we will be assessing you and your potential. - Lunch with MBAs
Talk to our current participants and ask them any questions you have about their experiences.
Following your interview, the admissions committee reviews your candidacy and compares it to other applicants who have been interviewed as well. Normally, we will confirm if you have been selected as one of the unique members of the following year's class within two weeks of your interview. The applicant is responsible for all travel expenses.
