Sur Dossier (Admission)
Definition
Sur Dossier is an admission procedure primarily used in Switzerland. It allows applicants without formal university entrance qualifications to be admitted based on an individual portfolio. Work experience, continuing education, leadership responsibility, and personal suitability are considered. This procedure opens MBA access for experienced professionals without a traditional Bachelor's degree.
Example: "Without a first degree she was admitted sur dossier."
