The Admissions team will review your application in order to declare you eligible based on the prerequisites and the academic and professional level required for the programme in question.

A confirmation email will be sent to you within 5 working days from join@kedgebs.com. We invite you to check your spam and to add this email address in your address book to be sure to receive future communications. 

If you are eligible, an invitation will automatically be sent to you by email from the address join@kedgebs.com. Connect to interview.kedge.edu and book an interview date among those proposed (15 working days maximum after the declaration of your eligibility).  

Candidates will be assessed thanks to :

• A 10-minute quizz (30 questions), assessing their knowlegde of wine and spirits
• A 30-minute interview in front of a jury of 2 persons (one of them being a member of the KEDGE Wine School).

During the interview, candidates will have 5 minutes to discuss a current or general topic of interest (candidates will receive the topic by email the day before), with no visual aid for the jury (candidates may dispose of  any supports beside themselves). The candidates’ capacity to answer the question in a synthetic and methodical manner, as well as their capacity to defend their personal views will be assessed.
During the remaining time of the interview, the jury will evaluate the candidates’ motivation to apply to our programme, the relevance of their choice in relation with their professional project, and their personality.

Following the selection tests, the admission decision will be sent to you by email within 5 working days from the address join@kedgebs.com. You may be declared non-admitted, admitted or on the waiting list* depending on the decision of the programme director and its jury members. As the jury is sovereign, its decision is irrevocable. In case of admission, your admission letter validated by the Director of Programmes will be attached to the reply.   

For international candidates, a reply will also be provided in case of admission on merit scholarship, if the request was made when the application was created.

*on the waiting list, the final answer can be received within a maximum of 8 weeks.

In case of admission, you will receive an invitation to connect to your future student space to start your administrative registration procedure and then receive your registration form to sign online.

A confirmation of registration will be requested within 15 working days following the reception of your invitation via the online signature of the contract and the payment of a deposit. The programmes department will then take over to prepare your return to school.
