5 more programmes — every published round has closed

These schools’ rounds for the current cycle have all passed and they haven’t published the next cycle’s dates yet, so charting them would show nothing but dead dates. Each is still profiled, and returns to the timeline the moment its next round is published.

Last verified Every date here was checked against the school’s own admissions page in . Of the 108 dates charted, 46 are ours, not the school’s — projected from the rounds it runs every year because it had not published that cycle’s date when we checked. Those are drawn hollow, and the note under the chart explains how to read one. Schools publish the next intake’s rounds through the autumn and occasionally shift a date after that, so a round may move after our last check — always confirm the exact deadline on the school’s official page before you plan around it.

See when each country’s deadlines were last checked

We re-verify each country’s rounds against the schools’ own admissions pages on a rolling cycle, so some clusters are fresher than others. Here’s when each was last checked:

What a hollow marker means a drawn hollow is an indicative date: the school had not published that exact date for the cycle shown when we last checked, so we have projected it from the rounds it runs every year — or, for a school that admits on a rolling basis and publishes no rounds at all, it marks roughly when applying still makes sense. Treat a solid marker as a date to plan against and a hollow one as a date to confirm; every one links through to the school's own page. The count is in the “Last verified” line above.

What the means that school's dates come with a caveat — most often a recurring annual window (its typical rounds, because the next cycle's exact dates weren't published when we last checked), an earlier intake than the 2027 rounds shown for other schools, or rolling admission that can close early once seats fill. Hover or tap the mark for that school's full note, and confirm on its own admissions page.

Deadlines, answered

When are European Master in Management application deadlines?
Most European MiMs open applications in the early autumn and run several rounds through to the following spring or summer, and a large share admit on a rolling basis — assessing files as they arrive until places run out. So there is rarely a single "the deadline": there is a sequence of rounds, and the one that matters is the earliest round you can submit a genuinely strong application for. The timeline above charts every programme’s published 2026–27 rounds on one calendar.
Do MiM programmes have application rounds?
Most do — typically two to five rounds (often labelled R1, R2, R3…) spread across the cycle, sometimes with an early round before them. Earlier rounds usually carry more available seats and better scholarship odds, because the class fills as rounds close. A handful of schools instead use a single fixed deadline or pure rolling admission; the tracker shows which model each programme uses.
Should I apply in Round 1 or Round 2?
Earlier is generally safer — more seats are open and scholarship budgets are fuller — but a strong Round 2 application beats a rushed Round 1 one. The deciding factor is readiness: if your test score, essays and references are genuinely ready for the earlier round, take it; if waiting a round buys you a materially better application, that trade is usually worth it. Our Round 1 vs Round 2 guide walks through the real cost of waiting.
Are MiM deadlines the same every year?
No — schools shift their round dates each cycle, add or drop rounds, and occasionally change their admissions model, so last year’s date is a guide, not a guarantee. The dates here are pulled from each programme’s published 2026–27 rounds, but the school’s own admissions page is the only authoritative source: always confirm the exact deadline there before you plan around it.
How many programmes can I track at once?
The timeline charts every Master in Management we profile that still has a round open, and you can check and uncheck programmes to build a custom view — for example, only the six to eight schools on your shortlist — so you can see at a glance which rounds clash and which sequence of submissions is realistic. Schools whose published rounds have all closed are listed under the chart instead, and return to it as soon as they publish the next cycle.
Which European MiMs have the earliest deadlines?
It varies by cycle, but several schools open an early or first round in the autumn before the intake year — sometimes a full year ahead — while others stay open into the following summer. Rather than memorise this, read it visually: the tracker orders programmes by their earliest round, so the schools you would need to act on first sit at the top.
