ESB runs a single winter-semester intake (starting in September/October), but the M.Sc. Global Management and Digital Competencies is built around ESB's IPBS partner network, so the application deadline depends on which international track you choose. The Italian-German (single-degree) track closes around 15 June and the Canadian-German track around 30 June, while the Franco-German and Irish-German double-degree tracks close around 15 July — with non-EU applicants to the Dublin City University (Irish-German) route asked to apply by around 1 July. Because your first block is spent abroad at the partner school, the track you pick shapes both your deadline and your route, so decide early. Always confirm the exact current-cycle date for your chosen track on ESB's own admissions page, and map it against the other schools on our deadline tracker.
ESB Business School runs 2 application rounds. Earlier rounds generally carry higher acceptance odds and earlier scholarship visibility.
| Round | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Application close (Italian-German / single-degree track) | 15 June 2027 |
| Application close (double-degree tracks) | 15 July 2027 |
Dates are confirmed against the school's official admissions page. See every European school's rounds side by side on our interactive deadlines timeline.
