How to apply for the AIB MBA

Prepare a current resume (curriculum vitae) showing a detailed history of your work experience. Be sure to include:  

• Work experience and achievements: List your relevant work experience in reverse chronological order, starting with your most recent job. For each position, be sure to include the company’s name, location, and duration of your employment with start and finish date and bullet points highlighting your responsibilities and personal achievements.  
• Skills: Within each role, you must showcase skills in areas such as financial management, project management, leadership and budgeting, as applicable.  

Our program is conducted entirely in English, and all candidates must meet AIB’s English proficiency requirements, irrespective of their location. In areas or nations with more than one official language, documentation proving that your previous education was in English may be necessary. For more information, visit AIB’s English Requirements. 

If the name on any document uploaded to your application differs from your current name, you will be required to provide proof of the name change. This proof may include documents such as a marriage certificate, divorce certificate or a formal change of name certificate/deed poll. 

* Every province and territory operates a vital records office responsible for managing birth, death, and marriage certificates. To obtain your records, you must reach out to the relevant province or territory where you currently reside or were born.

You will need to provide 2 references from direct managers who meet the following criteria:  

• Both referees should have been your direct manager within the past five years and will be required to complete an online form verifying that you have shown proficiency in a range of business skills. 
• Each referee must have known you professionally for a minimum of one year. If you are providing referees as a business owner, further documentation may be requested.  
• Together, the referees must account for at least three years of experience in a managerial role or significant technical position. 
• Evidence of a relationship must be established. The easiest way to do this is for the referee to provide a work email address if they are still with the mutual organization or a LinkedIn profile. Other means such as contracts, invoices, annual reports or financial records can also be used, particularly if you are self-employed or a business owner.  

Please note: A professional relationship can include interactions with a current or former direct manager, or a significant client, a significant supplier, or an external accountant, particularly if you are self-employed.
