Information required with application
There is a parallel application process: application for entry onto the MBA programme and application for the scholarship.
For the programme, complete and submit your MBA application form to Cranfield in the normal way by 1 May 2010. Successful applicants will then be interviewed for their eligibility for entry by telephone, unless they are able to visit Cranfield. The School will confirm offers of places within a few days of the interview.
For the scholarship, complete a separate scholarship application form by 29 May 2010.
Decision process
Decision makers
Cranfield alumni in New Zealand, and representatives of the NZ-UK Link Foundation and the New Zealand Institute of Management will select the successful scholar. Cranfield School of Management will determine whether applicants meet the criteria for MBA study.
Notification
Successful applicants will be short-listed and interviewed by a panel including a Cranfield alumnus and a representative of the NZ-UK Link Foundation. Interviews will take place in June 2010 either in Wellington, Auckland or London; other venues may be arranged. The decision will be made shortly thereafter.
Conditions of acceptance
The successful scholar will be required to return to New Zealand within a 'reasonable' period after completion of the MBA. This does not necessarily mean immediate, although the intention is that the scholar's future plans will include sharing the benefit of his/her MBA study in New Zealand.
