IKNS application information at a glance
Admission to IKNS is highly competitive. We therefore encourage you to apply as soon as possible. We review applications on a rolling basis: Once we have all your application materials, you will receive a decision within 6-8 weeks. That means, the sooner you submit your application, the sooner you receive a decision to plan your life accordingly.
Detailed application requirements, guidance and deadlines are available via the buttons below. Please note:
- IKNS is geared towards mid-career or senior professionals who bring lived professional experiences into classroom discussions. Many successful applicants already have substantial work and leadership experience in an area relevant to IKNS (combined across full time work, internships, or student research projects).
- The Admissions Committee reviews each candidate holistically. With the exception of the requirements for a bachelor's/equivalent degree and the language test scores, no application is rejected based on any individual criterion (work experience, transcripts, etc.) alone.
