WU admits to the Master in International Management/CEMS once a year for an autumn (winter-semester) start, with the application window closing in early January — 8 January for the 2026/27 intake. As a single annual round rather than rolling admissions, the deadline is firm. Dates for the 2027/28 intake are still not published: re-read at source on 7 September 2026, WU's programme page continues to state that "the final application deadline is January 8th (for 2026/27 intake)", and the university's own admission-deadlines page still lists only winter semester 2026/27. Note that this means the only cycle WU currently publishes has already closed, so an applicant for 2027/28 has no date to plan against yet — watch the programme page from autumn 2026.
Exact dates for the upcoming intake are confirmed against the school's official admissions page as they are published.
