Applicants who obtained an academic degree from a foreign educational institution where English is the primary language of instruction can be exempted from submission of the TOEFL or IELTS tests.
GSB recognizes that some exceptional EMBA candidates with lower IELTS or TOEFL scores will bring other valuable attributes to the EMBA program. Therefore, the Admissions Committee may assess and recognize the English language proficiency of the applicants who have scores lower than specified. To support such candidates, simultaneous Russian translation and translation of in-class materials may be made available.
