Financing options for the Global Online MBA

Global Online MBA tuition and fees

On this page you can find out everything you need to know about the program’s tuition and fees, whether you are eligible for discounts or fellowships and how you can structure your payment.

The tuition and fees for the global online MBA are €28,000

This includes access to the learning platform and content and required case study licenses. You will also receive a Smart Certificate that you can use to share your verified achievement with employers and social media. Smart Certificates will be awarded for each of the introductory and core modules you complete, and the overall MBA program.

Payment plans

We are pleased to offer you three different ways to pay your remaining tuition (tuition less deposit) for the Global Online MBA.

1: Payment in full

If you decide to pay in full when the program starts your tuition will be reduced by 15% to €23,800. Note that this offer cannot be combined with the early application discount.

2: Pay over two installments

When paying over installments, tuition is reduced by 5% to €26,600. The first installment of €11,300 will be due when the program starts, while the remaining balance (€11,300) will become due one year later. These amounts will not change.

3: Pay by module

For the greatest financial flexibility, you can pay by module. While ESMT reserves the right to increase the per module fee, your tuition will be fixed for the entire program once you apply. The current cost per module is €4000.

Deposit

When you are accepted into the program, we will ask you to pay a non-refundable deposit of €4,000. This can be reduced if you apply early.

Early application discount

For students who apply by the early application deadline, the deposit (which covers the non-refundable enrollment and Module 0 fee) is reduced by €2,000. The first payment will thus be €2,000 instead of €4,000.

It is not possible to combine the early application discount with payment in full; you can, however, combine this offer with payment over two installments, or with payment by module.
