Accepted students should speak with their university’s career center, international programs office, financial aid office or relevant academic department.

The diiVe team can provide supporting documentation where required.

“Before diiVe, the world of consulting was a mysterious and unfamiliar realm to me. This program gave me far more clarity on what I want to do with life and opened the doors to new opportunities to pursue my interests abroad through the world of consulting.”
