An Applicant for MEMS program is expected to possess a basic foundation in Economics or related discipline, such as Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics or Information Technology. When allocating places, particular weight will be given to the Applicant's aptitude for quantitatively-oriented economic analysis.

In addition, an Applicant is required to take the GRE (Graduate Records Examinations) Revised General Test and to submit the results with his/her application.

The GRE Revised General Test is one of the most widely accepted admission tests worldwide. It designed to measure abilities to undertake graduate studies, therefore helps to assess applicants in a standardized way. GRE Test consists of verbal, quantitative and analytical writing parts and is usually held at the special test centers.
