Tailor-made educational experience
During Access Masters events senior Bachelor’s degree students or recent graduates can discover the best matching Masters programme. The events combine a graduate school fair, one-to-one meetings and consulting sessions that enable aspirants to explore educational opportunities in the way that best fits them.
One-to-One events enable participants to meet insiders from top business schools – admissions directors, professors, current students and alumni. In doing so, they are in a better position to identify the best programmes for them and improve their chances of admission. One-to-one meetings offer the opportunity to learn more about individual business Masters programmes directly from the source, discover all the details that matter to you most, and compare different perspectives and experiences.
The Access Masters Fairs allow participants to get to know many different Masters programmes at a time. During the open fair format prospective Masters applicants can meet all participating universities and get details about the full scope of their graduate programmes, beyond business and management. This provides a sense of the university environment and the interdisciplinary experience one can immerse into.

Who can benefit
Access Masters events are designed to help prospective Masters students find the Masters programmes that suit them best.
Organisers encourage students in the final year of their Bachelor’s degree studies, as well as recent graduates to join the event. Most Master’s degree programmes welcome applicants with no work experience. However, some programmes are targeted at young professionals who already have about two years of professional experience relevant to the intended field of specialisation in graduate school.
Fluency in English for academic studies is a must because the majority of the programmes presented at the Access Masters events are taught in English.
It is important to know also that the One-to-One event format and the Access Masters fairs cater to different types of candidates.
The One-to-One event format is designed for prospective students who are interested in business degree programmes. Candidates connect with business schools that match their profile and preferences during up to 20-minute meetings that are scheduled in advance.
The fairs, on the other hand, allow candidates to meet dozens of school representatives to learn about various Masters programmes. This variety of programmes and formats enables the Access Masters events to help a large number of candidates to choose their path in life.
