About the programme
This MBA admission interview focuses on the hard choices involved in building an organisation that earns revenue and creates social value. The panel looks for commercial discipline, a credible understanding of impact and leadership that can work across communities, customers, staff and funders. Strong answers make trade-offs visible instead of treating purpose and sustainability as automatic partners.
How to prepare
- Define the social problem, the people affected and the evidence behind your understanding of it.
- Map the customer, beneficiary, revenue source, main costs and delivery constraints for your idea.
- Distinguish activities, immediate outputs and longer-term outcomes in your impact story.
- Prepare a leadership example where people had competing priorities or unequal power.
- Explain why an MBA is necessary for your next step rather than simply desirable.
- Choose a contribution you can make to classmates based on tested experience.
Common mistakes
- Speaking passionately about the mission while avoiding revenue, costs and operational constraints.
- Counting people reached as proof that meaningful change occurred.
- Presenting beneficiaries as a single group without showing how you listened to them.
- Claiming there is no tension between impact, growth and financial sustainability.
- Giving an MBA goal that could fit any management programme.
