MSMGrad is designed for working professionals worldwide who want to earn a globally accredited Master's or Executive MBA degree without interrupting their career or relocating. The MSc suits graduates and early-career professionals; the eMIB is for experienced managers with 5+ years.
What makes MSMGrad different from other online programs?
Three key differentiators: (1) Full, accredited degree from a global university, not a certificate. (2) AACSB accreditation, only 5% of business schools globally hold this. (3) Lifetime career support and access to a 15,000+ global alumni network. No other online platform offers this combination.
Is this a real degree or just a certificate?
This is a full, legally recognized Master's degree through MSM Unify's academic partnership. The degree is equivalent to degrees earned at any top European university and is recognized worldwide.
How many hours per week does the program require?
Approximately 12–15 hours per week for the MSc program and 14–18 hours for the eMIB. This includes live sessions (typically weekends), self-study, readings, assignments, and group projects. Our timetable is designed to accommodate full-time employment.
What are the eligibility criteria?
MSc: Bachelor's degree (any discipline, min 50%) + English proficiency. eMIB: Bachelor's degree + 5 years work experience + English proficiency. GMAT/GRE not required for either program.
How long does admission take?
From application submission to offer letter: 48–72 hours for complete applications. From offer to enrollment confirmation: up to 7 days. Total time from first contact to confirmed seat: typically 1–2 weeks.
Can I apply if I'm currently studying?
You may apply in your final year of undergraduate study, but enrollment will be contingent on degree completion before the program starts. Final year students are welcome to apply and receive conditional offers.
What if my documents are not in English?
Non-English documents must be accompanied by a certified English translation. We can recommend accredited translation services if needed. Translations add 3–5 business days to the review process.
What is the teaching format?
Programs use a blended online format: weekly live video lectures (2–3 hours), recorded lectures available 24/7, weekly reading assignments, group projects with international peers, and bi-weekly faculty office hours. All content is accessible via a mobile-friendly learning portal.
Is the international residency mandatory?
For the MSc, the Maastricht residency is optional but highly recommended. For the eMIB, one 5-day residency at the Maastricht campus is included in the program and strongly encouraged as it's a defining experience. Attendance is required for the capstone project presentation.
Can I pause or defer mid-program?
Yes. If extenuating circumstances arise (health, family, professional), students may request a temporary leave of up to one term. Approval is subject to academic standing and prior notice. We understand life happens and work with students on a case-by-case basis.
