Admissions & Applications

You apply online through the official website using our Apply Now form. You'll submit your academic transcripts, a valid photo ID, proof of English proficiency (where required), and any programme-specific documents. Once submitted, our admissions team reviews your file and contacts you with the next steps.

Applicants normally need a completed high-school diploma or an equivalent qualification. International students are asked to demonstrate English proficiency, and some programmes may include an entrance assessment or interview. If you're unsure whether your qualification qualifies, our admissions team can advise on an individual basis.

Master's applicants typically hold a recognised bachelor's degree in a relevant field. Doctoral applicants (PhD / DBA) generally hold a relevant master's degree and submit a research proposal or statement of intent. Professional experience is also considered, particularly for our executive and doctoral pathways.

Please have the following ready:

  • Academic transcripts and certificates from previous study
  • A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
  • Proof of English proficiency, where required
  • An up-to-date CV (for postgraduate and executive programmes)
  • A research proposal or statement of purpose (for doctoral programmes)

RSBT operates multiple intakes across the academic year, including a Fall intake for doctoral, master's, and bachelor's programmes. We recommend applying early, as international applicants need extra time for document verification and, where relevant, visa processing. Check the academic calendar for current intake dates.

Yes. RSBT welcomes transfer students from recognised universities. Prior coursework is assessed for credit transfer or exemption on a case-by-case basis, so please include full transcripts and module descriptions with your application.

In many cases, yes — particularly for our executive and professional programmes. Relevant professional experience can be considered as part of the entry assessment. Contact admissions to discuss your background before applying.
