Our partnering organisations include around 60 global top employers such as top-tier investment banks, law firms, media companies, marketing agencies, publishing houses and non-profits. Participants choose to train in the fields of investment banking & finance, marketing & communications, legal & compliance, human resources or business operations.

Description of Ideal Candidate:

(For US Program)

Mountbatten programmes are designed for recent university graduates with only a few years of professional experience. For details on specific areas of eligibility, please see the sections below. Please contact your admissions office with any questions or concerns you may have.
Education

A degree from a post-secondary academic institution outside the United States is required. Applications from current students are accepted provided the applicant is scheduled to graduate before beginning a Mountbatten programme. The Mountbatten Admissions team takes a holistic approach to each application, reviewing all aspects of a candidate's experience, education, references and personal achievements. Most applicants, however, have an undergraduate degree classified at 2.2 or above.
Work Experience

Applicants must demonstrate a minimum of 12 months full-time professional (office/administrative) work experience to fulfill eligibility requirements.

This work experience can be accumulated in several positions, and may have been acquired before, during, and/or after relevant academic studies.
Work experience must be related to one of the areas we offer placements in: Finance, Event Management, HR, IT, Law, Marketing/Communications or Non-Profit.
Voluntary/unpaid work can count towards the required 12 months.
Retail, restaurant, bar/pub work cannot be counted.
Work experience must be acquired outside of the US.

This is a non-negotiable requirement of the US State Department for the specific Trainee J-1 Visa offered to Mountbatten participants.

If you are unsure whether your experience meets these requirements, please contact your local admissions office providing information of your employment to date.
Language Requirements

The Mountbatten Institute provides no English language training. Highly proficient verbal and written English language skills are required for both the classroom and the workplace. The ability to communicate clearly using professional English plays a significant role when interviewing for placement in London or New York. For candidates whose first language is not English, any of the following certificates or scores may be provided to serve as a guideline for proficiency to begin the application process:

IELTS (academic) 6.5 overall with not less than 5.5 in any section
TOEFL minimum 575 on paper-based and 90 on internet-based
Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE)
Cambridge Certificate Proficiency (CPE)
Test of English for Educational Purposes (TEEP)
GCSE English grade C or above
Pearson Test score of 58 for English Academic or Level 5 General
Higher Secondary exam with 55% or higher, in English (India)
International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.

Nationality Requirements

New York programmes are open to all non-US citizens. Holders of dual nationality where one country is the US are not eligible to participate. While many Mountbatten candidates are UK or EU nationals, others will be from outside of Europe (e.g. Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Australia). If you are a non-UK or non-EU national, you should contact your local US embassy to find out more about immigration requirements and how J-1 visas are awarded and processed in your home country. You are also advised to contact the Admissions Team relevant to your location in London, New York, Bangkok or Sydney.

Check the link. You first pay for application fee $100 then later on tuition fee depending on the programme you choose (There are 3 different programmes but MBA is the most expensive $36,000 while the others are like $12,000). Lastly another fee is paid by you. The monies are paid before you begin the internship but at intervals.

Note: The money to be paid by you for the programme is more than 2M while you get training allowance every month ($1,083 for NY progamme while £700 for London Programme) for 12 months.
