Deadlines · 2026–27 cycle

MiM application deadlines, 2026–27.

Every Master in Management application round we track for the 2026–27 cycle — 149 rounds across 56 European programmes, month by month and drawn straight from each school's own admissions pages, with the rounds a school hasn't published yet marked as indicative. See when applications open, which rounds are still ahead, and how to sequence your submissions.

A European MiM application is a sequence, not a single deadline. Almost every programme admits in rounds — usually two to five, sometimes with an early round before them — and a good share admit on a rolling basis, reading files as they arrive until the class is full. In both models the same thing is true: the earliest round you can submit a genuinely strong application for is almost always the best one, because seats and scholarship budget thin out as the cycle runs on.

So the calendar below is the part most applicants get wrong first. It charts every 2026–27 round for the programmes we profile, in chronological order, so you can see when each school opens, which windows are still ahead, and how to stagger your submissions. Want to track only your shortlist, export the dates to your calendar and get the next one at a glance? Open the interactive tracker:

Alba Graduate Business School MSc in Management Alba runs rolling admission — 'Alba operates on a rolling admissions basis and accepts applications throughout the year' — and publishes exactly one date for the current cycle: 'LAST CALL – LIMITED SEATS AVAILABLE | New Application Deadline: 14 September, 2026' against a September 2026 start. That one is published and current. The 2027 row is OURS, repeating the same last-call point a year on, because the school publishes no 2027 date at all; treat it as the shape to plan around, not a date to plan against. The rule that actually governs a late application is the school's own: 'Applications received after the program's start date will not be considered for the current intake but will be evaluated for the following year's intake.' Read 7 September 2026. Final call — September 2026 intake
Imperial College Business School MSc in Management 2027 entry (August 2027 start) — applications are open and Imperial publishes four rounds, each with its own decision date: 29 Sep 2026 → 25 Nov 2026, 6 Jan 2027 → 3 Mar 2027, 10 Mar 2027 → 5 May 2027, 28 Apr 2027 → 16 Jun 2027.

Esade Business School Master in International Management (MSc) September 2027 intake — the nine staged deadlines Esade publishes on its MSc admissions timeline (read at source 2 Sep 2026). These are submission dates within a rolling process, not competitive rounds: the school assesses each complete file about a month after the stage it meets. The calendar is shared across Esade's MSc programmes, the Master in International Management among them. Stage 1
University of Twente MSc Business Administration Recurring annual window — Twente publishes no year February 2027 intake — non-EEA (visa) nationality indicative — not published by the school
ESSEC Business School Master in Management — Grande École 2027-intake exact dates not yet published; rounds shown follow ESSEC's recurring four-round pattern (deadlines at noon CET/CEST). Re-checked 1 Sep 2026 across ESSEC's public MiM programme and international-degree admission pages: both describe "several rounds of applications" but neither publishes a dated calendar — ESSEC carries the round dates inside its application portal instead, so there is no public page to confirm them against. Check the portal, or ask admissions, before planning around these R1 indicative — not published by the school
IESE Business School Master in Management (MiM) September 2027 intake (MiM-28), published by IESE — eight rounds, not the ten of the previous cycle. Non-EU applicants have an earlier effective cut-off: IESE says candidates without an EU passport must apply before 1 May due to Spanish immigration policy, which lands between Round 7 and Round 8 Round 1 (MiM-28)
London Business School Masters in Management August 2027 intake — LBS has now PUBLISHED its application calendar (the cycle it calls "MiM2028"), and these are its own dates, read on the apply page 7 Sep 2026. This corrects the indicative September/November/January/March/June dates we showed until 5 Sep 2026, which were projected from earlier cycles while LBS's "Application calendar" tab was still empty — a reader flagged the gap and the school had filled it in the meantime. LBS numbers these Stage 1–4; each closes at 23:59 UK time on the day shown, and Admissions Committee decisions are emailed by 18:00 UK time. Stage 3 (8 March) is also the scholarship cut-off. R1
INSEAD Master in Management (MIM) August 2027 intake — confirm exact times (noon CET/CEST) on INSEAD's admissions page R1
HEC Paris Master in Management — Grande École September 2027 intake — dates now published by HEC (verified 24 Aug 2026 against the Direct Admissions Calendar). Four rounds, not the five of earlier cycles; each closes at 12:00 noon CET/CEST. R1
emlyon business school Master in Management — Programme Grande École emlyon publishes no dated rounds. Its own MiM page says only that the school "may close applications earlier, if all the seats in the class are filled, as it happens every year for many of our Master's programs", and advises applying as early as possible (checked 28 Aug 2026). It does run application sessions — the Early Bird scholarship is a 10% tuition reduction for applying in the first session and 5% for the second — but the session dates aren't on the page, and the 2025/26 application window closed on 26 August 2026. The four dates shown are OUR indication of emlyon's usual staged pattern; confirm the live session dates with the Recruitment & Admissions team. R1 indicative — not published by the school
NEOMA Business School Master in Management – Programme Grande École January 2027 intake — the date is INDICATIVE. NEOMA publishes an Application calendar (read at source 7 Sep 2026) but gives this window in words, not as a dated cut-off: "For January 2027 intake: Applications are open until mid-October". The 15 October shown here is our reading of "mid-October" and is NOT a date NEOMA states, so treat it as the middle of a window that may close earlier — confirm on NEOMA's own page before planning around it. Admission is rolling, so the practical advice is to apply well before it either way: decisions follow about two weeks after the interview and places are limited. The September 2026 intake closed 28 June 2026 (NEOMA's own date, now passed) and dates for September 2027 are not yet published. Final (January 2027 intake) indicative — not published by the school
University of Groningen – Faculty of Economics and Business MSc Business Administration Two intakes a year (February & September). The 15 October 2026 deadline applies to the Feb/May/Sep 2027 starts on the school's application page; EU/EEA applicants should confirm their cycle's date. Feb 2027 intake (deadline)
University of Groningen – Faculty of Economics and Business MSc Business Administration Two intakes a year (February & September). The 15 October 2026 deadline applies to the Feb/May/Sep 2027 starts on the school's application page; EU/EEA applicants should confirm their cycle's date. Sep 2027 intake (deadline)
University of Southern Denmark MSc in Economics and Business Administration (cand.merc.) — International Business and Management Recurring annual window. SDU publishes these as standing dates rather than as a dated calendar for one cycle — '1 March (start September)' and '15 October (start February)' for EU/EEA/Swiss applicants, and 1 February and 1 September, both at 23:59 CET, for non-EU/EEA applicants — so the day and month are the school's own and the year is ours. Note that the two applicant categories have genuinely different deadlines a month apart, in the opposite order to the intuition: the non-EU deadline is the earlier one. February 2027 intake — EU/EEA/Swiss indicative — not published by the school
ESCP Business School Master in Management — Grande École 2027-intake dates are NOT published — ESCP's programme page says admissions for September 2026 are closed and that "applications for a 2027 entry will open soon", with the online application marked "coming soon" (checked 1 Sep 2026). The four dates shown are projected one year on from ESCP's own published 2025/2026 Direct Admission calendar: R1 23 Oct 2025, R2 15 Jan 2026, R3 12 Mar 2026, R4 7 May 2026. Two corrections from that re-read. (1) The R4 date this page previously showed (3 June) was ESCP's admissions RESULTS date, not its application deadline — the real last round closed on 7 May, four weeks earlier. (2) R4 is only open to applicants whose previous studies were outside France; if you hold a French degree, R3 is your last round. Rounds 3 and 4 also run earlier campus-specific sub-rounds (R3.1 Berlin 9 Feb and Turin 16 Feb; R4.1 Turin 7 Apr in the 2025/26 cycle), and ESCP states that your deadline and admissions session are set by your country of residence at the time you apply — so confirm your own dates in ESCP's online application once the 2027 cycle opens R1 indicative — not published by the school
Università Bocconi MSc in International Management AY 2027/28 — four selection rounds, verified 24 Aug 2026 against Bocconi's MSc admissions calendar; the dates above are each round's closing date (rounds run as windows, e.g. R1 is 1–29 Oct 2026). Applies to all MSc programmes including International Management; earlier rounds hold more scholarship and popular-programme places. R1

Maastricht University MSc International Business Two starts a year. The February 2027 dates are published and confirmed on Maastricht's own admission page (checked 28 Aug 2026): applications open via Studielink from 1 July 2026, close 1 November 2026 for non-EU/EEA applicants who need a visa or residence permit and 1 December 2026 for EU/EEA and Swiss nationals, with all MyApplication tasks due 31 January 2027. The September 2027 dates are NOT yet published — that page covers academic year 2026-2027 only — so the 1 May / 1 June rounds shown are projected from the pattern Maastricht repeats each cycle. All deadlines fall at 23:59 CET. February 2027 intake — non-EU/EEA
University of Amsterdam – Amsterdam Business School MSc Business Administration February 2027 intake, both dates published and confirmed on UvA's own application page (checked 28 Aug 2026): 1 November 2026 if you need a visa or want to apply for UvA housing, 1 December 2026 for EU/EEA applicants who don't. Holders of a Dutch degree have until 1 January 2027 (1 November 2026 if they need a residence permit). September 2027 dates are not yet published — UvA says applications for that intake open in October 2026. Feb 2027 intake — non-EU/EEA (visa/housing)
University of St. Gallen Master in Strategy and International Management Autumn 2027 entry · the four rounds HSG publishes on the SIM admission page, with decisions by 8 Dec 2026, 28 Feb, 30 Apr and 31 May 2027. They are the same for every applicant — HSG states no separate EU/non-EU deadline. Its university-wide deadlines table carries no rounds at all: it gives SIM a single 1 Oct – 30 Apr window, and closes five other HSG master's on 31 Mar. R1
IESE Business School Master in Management (MiM) September 2027 intake (MiM-28), published by IESE — eight rounds, not the ten of the previous cycle. Non-EU applicants have an earlier effective cut-off: IESE says candidates without an EU passport must apply before 1 May due to Spanish immigration policy, which lands between Round 7 and Round 8 Round 2
IE Business School Master in Management IE publishes NO application deadlines. Its own admissions page answers "Is there a deadline to apply?" with: "No, there is no deadline because we have a rolling admissions process, which means that you can apply at any time of the year" (checked 28 Aug 2026). There are September and January intakes and decisions come back in roughly 1–3 weeks, so the three dates shown here are OUR guide to when applying still leaves comfortable room for a seat, a visa and financial aid — not IE rounds. Apply as early as you can; IE says it receives a large volume of applications. Early consideration indicative — not published by the school
Stockholm School of Economics MSc in International Business (CEMS MIM) Early deadline
Esade Business School Master in International Management (MSc) September 2027 intake — the nine staged deadlines Esade publishes on its MSc admissions timeline (read at source 2 Sep 2026).

HHL publishes these dates itself: three Early Bird rounds carrying a tuition reduction (30 Nov − €4,500 · 31 Jan − €3,000 · 31 Mar − €1,500), then 31 May, the final deadline for international (non-EU) applicants who need a visa, and 30 June, the final deadline for EU applicants and non-EU applicants who don't. The GMAT/GRE or HHL Entry Test may be submitted after the deadline (until 15 August for either final round). R1 (Early Bird 1)

University of Twente MSc Business Administration Recurring annual window — Twente publishes no year February 2027 intake — EEA nationality indicative — not published by the school
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam – School of Business and Economics MSc Business Administration Re-read on VU's central apply page on 1 Sep 2026. VU dates its deadlines by cycle, and the cycle it currently publishes is the one that has just closed: 1 April 2026 (non-EU/EEA needing a visa) and 1 June 2026 (EU/EEA), with applications for the next round opening "from the beginning of October". The September 2027 dates below are therefore projected one year on and marked indicative. Enrolment must be complete by 31 August to start on 1 September. SCOPE CHECKED 2026-09-04: these are university-wide dates for applicants holding a non-Dutch university degree, and the page names its own exceptions — an extended 15 July deadline for a listed set of (pre)master's programmes, which MSc Business Administration is NOT on, so 1 June is this programme's date. Corrected the same read: 1 December is VU's ADVISED programme-application date, not the scholarship deadline. The scholarship deadline is 1 February, and the VUFP, HSP and OTS awards can only be applied for once you are conditionally admitted — which takes around six weeks — so 1 December is a planning date working back from 1 February. Confirm the 2027 dates on VU's page once October's cycle opens September 2027 intake — advised programme application if you want a VU scholarship indicative — not published by the school

Aalto University School of Business MSc in International Management Single annual application window for the following August intake, set university-wide for all of Aalto's two-year master's programmes. The autumn-2027 window is 7 Dec 2026 – 5 Jan 2027, closing 15:00 Helsinki time — but the form deadline is not the last one that can sink an application: documents must be uploaded by 12 Jan 2027 (15:00), results are published 30 Mar 2027 and the place must be accepted by 21 Apr 2027. Read those dates on Aalto's central apply page, not on the programme page, which on 2026-09-04 still advertised the closed 1 Dec 2025 – 2 Jan 2026 window. Annual application window (closes)
Imperial College Business School MSc in Management 2027 entry (August 2027 start) — applications are open and Imperial publishes four rounds, each with its own decision date: 29 Sep 2026 → 25 Nov 2026, 6 Jan 2027 → 3 Mar 2027, 10 Mar 2027 → 5 May 2027, 28 Apr 2027 → 16 Jun 2027.

Ca' Foscari University of Venice Master's Degree Programme in International Management Autumn intake, and the three dates charted are OURS, not Ca' Foscari's: they project the 2027/28 cycle from the 2026/27 rounds the university actually published, because the 2027/28 calendar is not out yet (checked 2 September 2026). For 2026/27 the real dates were round 1 from 17 December 2025 to 14 January 2026, round 2 from 4 February to 4 March 2026, and a final master's deadline of 17 June 2026 for EU/EEA citizens and non-EU holders of an Italian residence permit. That cycle is now closed — the portal states that non-EU applicants requiring a visa can no longer apply for 2026/27 at all. Rounds are citizenship-specific and are published only after you set your nationality on apply.unive.it. You may submit ONE application per academic year covering up to two programmes, and the priority order cannot be changed afterwards. Confirm your own round on apply.unive.it before relying on any date. Round 1 closes (international qualification) — indicative indicative — not published by the school
Esade Business School Master in International Management (MSc) September 2027 intake — the nine staged deadlines Esade publishes on its MSc admissions timeline (read at source 2 Sep 2026). These are submission dates within a rolling process, not competitive rounds: the school assesses each complete file about a month after the stage it meets. The calendar is shared across Esade's MSc programmes, the Master in International Management among them. Stage 3

It does run application sessions — the Early Bird scholarship is a 10% tuition reduction for applying in the first session and 5% for the second — but the session dates aren't on the page, and the 2025/26 application window closed on 26 August 2026. The four dates shown are OUR indication of emlyon's usual staged pattern; confirm the live session dates with the Recruitment & Admissions team. R2 indicative — not published by the school
ESCP Business School Master in Management — Grande École 2027-intake dates are NOT published — ESCP's programme page says admissions for September 2026 are closed and that "applications for a 2027 entry will open soon", with the online application marked "coming soon" (checked 1 Sep 2026). The four dates shown are projected one year on from ESCP's own published 2025/2026 Direct Admission calendar: R1 23 Oct 2025, R2 15 Jan 2026, R3 12 Mar 2026, R4 7 May 2026. Two corrections from that re-read. (1) The R4 date this page previously showed (3 June) was ESCP's admissions RESULTS date, not its application deadline — the real last round closed on 7 May, four weeks earlier. (2) R4 is only open to applicants whose previous studies were outside France; if you hold a French degree, R3 is your last round. Rounds 3 and 4 also run earlier campus-specific sub-rounds (R3.1 Berlin 9 Feb and Turin 16 Feb; R4.1 Turin 7 Apr in the 2025/26 cycle), and ESCP states that your deadline and admissions session are set by your country of residence at the time you apply — so confirm your own dates in ESCP's online application once the 2027 cycle opens R2 indicative — not published by the school
IESE Business School Master in Management (MiM) September 2027 intake (MiM-28), published by IESE — eight rounds, not the ten of the previous cycle. Non-EU applicants have an earlier effective cut-off: IESE says candidates without an EU passport must apply before 1 May due to Spanish immigration policy, which lands between Round 7 and Round 8 Round 4
Stockholm School of Economics MSc in International Business (CEMS MIM) Final deadline
Stockholm University, Stockholm Business School Master's Programme in Management, Organization and Society Autumn (late August) intake only, applied for through Sweden's national portal universityadmissions.se rather than to the university. The 15 January 2027 date is published — by University Admissions Sweden, on its autumn-semester calendar last updated 31 August 2026 — rather than projected by us: that round opens 16 October 2026, closes 15 January 2027 at midnight CET, takes fees and documents by 1 February and publishes master's results on 1 April 2027, which places it as the round for the semester starting August/September 2027. Stockholm University's own dates page still showed the 2026 cycle when we read it on 2 September 2026 and gives only the standing rule that the first round runs 'between middle of October and middle of January'. A second national round runs 15 March – 15 April 2027, but SU warns that 'many of our international master's programmes are only open during the first admissions round regardless of an applicant's background' and does not say whether this one is — treat the January round as the real deadline and confirm second-round availability before relying on it. First round (international / fee-paying)
University of Gothenburg Master of Science in Management Autumn (August) intake only, applied for through Sweden's national portal universityadmissions.se — applications open in mid-October and the first-round deadline is 15 January for the following August start (the round international / fee-paying applicants should target). A later round (roughly mid-March to mid-April) sometimes opens for any remaining places. Dates recur on this national cycle each year; confirm the exact current-cycle dates on universityadmissions.se and the programme page. First round (international)
Uppsala University Master's Programme in Business and Management Autumn (late August) intake only, applied for through Sweden's national portal universityadmissions.se rather than to the university. Applications open in mid-October and the first-round deadline is 15 January for the following August start — the round international and fee-paying applicants should target. Dates recur on this national cycle each year; confirm the exact current-cycle dates on universityadmissions.se and the specialisation's own page. First round (international / fee-paying)
Università Bocconi MSc in International Management AY 2027/28 — four selection rounds, verified 24 Aug 2026 against Bocconi's MSc admissions calendar; the dates above are each round's closing date (rounds run as windows, e.g. R1 is 1–29 Oct 2026). Applies to all MSc programmes including International Management; earlier rounds hold more scholarship and popular-programme places. R2
Audencia Business School Master in Management (Grande École) September 2027 intake — Audencia publishes one dated cut-off, the 31 January 2027 early-application deadline it advises international candidates to meet (read at source 2 Sep 2026). Admissions then stay open until June 2027 but the school says they "may close early if class is full", so the June end is a ceiling, not a date to plan around. Early application (advised)
HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management Full-time Master in Management Fall 2027 intake, September start — applications open 15 September 2026. HHL publishes these dates itself: three Early Bird rounds carrying a tuition reduction (30 Nov − €4,500 · 31 Jan − €3,000 · 31 Mar − €1,500), then 31 May, the final deadline for international (non-EU) applicants who need a visa, and 30 June, the final deadline for EU applicants and non-EU applicants who don't. The GMAT/GRE or HHL Entry Test may be submitted after the deadline (until 15 August for either final round). R2 (Early Bird 2)
University of St. Gallen Master in Strategy and International Management Autumn 2027 entry · the four rounds HSG publishes on the SIM admission page, with decisions by 8 Dec 2026, 28 Feb, 30 Apr and 31 May 2027. They are the same for every applicant — HSG states no separate EU/non-EU deadline. Its university-wide deadlines table carries no rounds at all: it gives SIM a single 1 Oct – 30 Apr window, and closes five other HSG master's on 31 Mar. R2

February 2027

Master in Management application deadlines in February 2027
Date Programme Round
University of Southern Denmark MSc in Economics and Business Administration (cand.merc.) — International Business and Management Recurring annual window. SDU publishes these as standing dates rather than as a dated calendar for one cycle — '1 March (start September)' and '15 October (start February)' for EU/EEA/Swiss applicants, and 1 February and 1 September, both at 23:59 CET, for non-EU/EEA applicants — so the day and month are the school's own and the year is ours. Note that the two applicant categories have genuinely different deadlines a month apart, in the opposite order to the intuition: the non-EU deadline is the earlier one. September 2027 intake — non-EU/EEA indicative — not published by the school
Utrecht University MSc International Management Recurring annual deadlines for the single September intake, for applicants with a non-Dutch degree. Re-read at source on 1 Sep 2026 and confirmed verbatim — Utrecht publishes them without a cycle year, which is why they stay marked indicative: "Application deadline for scholarship candidates 1 February", "Non-EU passport holders 1 April", "EU passport holders 1 June". Applications open 1 October, so the window for the September 2027 intake opens within weeks of this check. Holders of a Dutch research-university degree apply on a later timeline. Confirm the current round on Utrecht's application page. September 2027 intake — scholarship candidates (non-Dutch degree) indicative — not published by the school
IE Business School Master in Management IE publishes NO application deadlines. Its own admissions page answers "Is there a deadline to apply?" with: "No, there is no deadline because we have a rolling admissions process, which means that you can apply at any time of the year" (checked 28 Aug 2026). There are September and January intakes and decisions come back in roughly 1–3 weeks, so the three dates shown here are OUR guide to when applying still leaves comfortable room for a seat, a visa and financial aid — not IE rounds. Apply as early as you can; IE says it receives a large volume of applications. R2 indicative — not published by the school
Kühne Logistics University Master in International Management (MSc) One September intake — the programme starts 1 September each year. Re-read on 13 September 2026: the early-bird discount is a window, 1 November 2026 to 15 February 2027, and it reduces tuition by 10%; non-EU/international applicants then apply by 31 May and EU/European applicants by 31 July. A €50 application fee applies to everyone. Confirm the current-cycle dates on KLU's own programme page. Early-bird window closes (10% tuition reduction) — opens 1 Nov 2026
NHH Norwegian School of Economics MSc in Economics and Business Administration Autumn 2027 intake — the application portal opens 1 November 2026 and the single deadline for applicants with a non-Norwegian bachelor's is 15 February 2027 (midnight CET). One round, no rolling admission; applicants with a Norwegian bachelor's apply through the Norwegian-language process instead. Final (autumn 2027 entry)
HEC Paris Master in Management — Grande École September 2027 intake — dates now published by HEC (verified 24 Aug 2026 against the Direct Admissions Calendar). Four rounds, not the five of earlier cycles; each closes at 12:00 noon CET/CEST. R3
Esade Business School Master in International Management (MSc) September 2027 intake — the nine staged deadlines Esade publishes on its MSc admissions timeline (read at source 2 Sep 2026). These are submission dates within a rolling process, not competitive rounds: the school assesses each complete file about a month after the stage it meets. The calendar is shared across Esade's MSc programmes, the Master in International Management among them. Stage 4
ESSEC Business School Master in Management — Grande École 2027-intake exact dates not yet published; rounds shown follow ESSEC's recurring four-round pattern (deadlines at noon CET/CEST). Re-checked 1 Sep 2026 across ESSEC's public MiM programme and international-degree admission pages: both describe "several rounds of applications" but neither publishes a dated calendar — ESSEC carries the round dates inside its application portal instead, so there is no public page to confirm them against. Check the portal, or ask admissions, before planning around these R3 indicative — not published by the school
IESE Business School Master in Management (MiM) September 2027 intake (MiM-28), published by IESE — eight rounds, not the ten of the previous cycle. Non-EU applicants have an earlier effective cut-off: IESE says candidates without an EU passport must apply before 1 May due to Spanish immigration policy, which lands between Round 7 and Round 8 Round 5
INSEAD Master in Management (MIM) August 2027 intake — confirm exact times (noon CET/CEST) on INSEAD's admissions page R3
University of Geneva – Geneva School of Economics and Management (GSEM) MSc in Responsible Management Single annual September intake; the 15 January–28 February application window recurs each cycle — confirm the exact 2027 dates on UNIGE's admissions page September 2027 intake — application window 15 January – 28 February 2027
Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) Master in Management 2027-intake dates are NOT published (checked 1 Sep 2026) — USI's application page still describes the 2026/27 cycle, which opened on 9 December 2025 and closed on 30 April 2026 for non-EU/EFTA candidates and 30 June 2026 for Swiss and EU/EFTA candidates. The three dates shown are projected one year on from that published calendar: USI reviews applications in three rounds with deadlines 'at the end of February, April, and June (the June deadline only for Swiss and EU/EFTA candidates)' and communicates decisions within three weeks of each round. Confirm the exact dates on USI's own page once the cycle opens — and note that USI's two pages disagree on late applications, the admission page saying they 'will not be accepted' and the application page saying they 'will be considered only in the case of available places' Round 1 (all candidates) indicative — not published by the school

March 2027

Master in Management application deadlines in March 2027
Date Programme Round
Copenhagen Business School MSc in Economics and Business Administration (cand.merc.) Two applicant groups (non-EU 15 Jan · EU/EEA 1 Mar) EU/EEA deadline
KU Leuven Master of Science in Business Administration Indicative, and now unsourced at KU Leuven's end. The 1 March (non-EEA) / 1 June (EEA) pair was read on the Faculty of Economics and Business's English-master's page in July 2026; re-read 2026-09-04, that page (last updated 3 July 2026) no longer states any deadline at all. KU Leuven now publishes the date only through a lookup tool that requires you to pick academic year, nationality AND programme before it will show one, so there is no university-wide date this profile can quote. Treat these as the recurring shape, not as this cycle's dates, and run your own nationality and programme through KU Leuven's application-window tool. September 2027 intake — non-EEA citizens indicative — not published by the school
University of Southern Denmark MSc in Economics and Business Administration (cand.merc.) — International Business and Management Recurring annual window. SDU publishes these as standing dates rather than as a dated calendar for one cycle — '1 March (start September)' and '15 October (start February)' for EU/EEA/Swiss applicants, and 1 February and 1 September, both at 23:59 CET, for non-EU/EEA applicants — so the day and month are the school's own and the year is ours. Note that the two applicant categories have genuinely different deadlines a month apart, in the opposite order to the intuition: the non-EU deadline is the earlier one. September 2027 intake — EU/EEA/Swiss indicative — not published by the school
Ca' Foscari University of Venice Master's Degree Programme in International Management Autumn intake, and the three dates charted are OURS, not Ca' Foscari's: they project the 2027/28 cycle from the 2026/27 rounds the university actually published, because the 2027/28 calendar is not out yet (checked 2 September 2026). For 2026/27 the real dates were round 1 from 17 December 2025 to 14 January 2026, round 2 from 4 February to 4 March 2026, and a final master's deadline of 17 June 2026 for EU/EEA citizens and non-EU holders of an Italian residence permit. That cycle is now closed — the portal states that non-EU applicants requiring a visa can no longer apply for 2026/27 at all. Rounds are citizenship-specific and are published only after you set your nationality on apply.unive.it. You may submit ONE application per academic year covering up to two programmes, and the priority order cannot be changed afterwards. Confirm your own round on apply.unive.it before relying on any date. Round 2 closes (international qualification) — indicative indicative — not published by the school
Católica Porto School of Business and Economics MSc in Management — the English-taught specialisations Recurring annual window — 2027/28 dates unpublished Phase 1 indicative — not published by the school
London Business School Masters in Management August 2027 intake — LBS has now PUBLISHED its application calendar (the cycle it calls "MiM2028"), and these are its own dates, read on the apply page 7 Sep 2026. This corrects the indicative September/November/January/March/June dates we showed until 5 Sep 2026, which were projected from earlier cycles while LBS's "Application calendar" tab was still empty — a reader flagged the gap and the school had filled it in the meantime. LBS numbers these Stage 1–4; each closes at 23:59 UK time on the day shown, and Admissions Committee decisions are emailed by 18:00 UK time. Stage 3 (8 March) is also the scholarship cut-off. R3
Imperial College Business School MSc in Management 2027 entry (August 2027 start) — applications are open and Imperial publishes four rounds, each with its own decision date: 29 Sep 2026 → 25 Nov 2026, 6 Jan 2027 → 3 Mar 2027, 10 Mar 2027 → 5 May 2027, 28 Apr 2027 → 16 Jun 2027. Applications must be in by 23:59 UK time on the closing day. Round 3 (2027 entry)
Università Bocconi MSc in International Management AY 2027/28 — four selection rounds, verified 24 Aug 2026 against Bocconi's MSc admissions calendar; the dates above are each round's closing date (rounds run as windows, e.g. R1 is 1–29 Oct 2026). Applies to all MSc programmes including International Management; earlier rounds hold more scholarship and popular-programme places. R3
ESCP Business School Master in Management — Grande École 2027-intake dates are NOT published — ESCP's programme page says admissions for September 2026 are closed and that "applications for a 2027 entry will open soon", with the online application marked "coming soon" (checked 1 Sep 2026). The four dates shown are projected one year on from ESCP's own published 2025/2026 Direct Admission calendar: R1 23 Oct 2025, R2 15 Jan 2026, R3 12 Mar 2026, R4 7 May 2026. Two corrections from that re-read. (1) The R4 date this page previously showed (3 June) was ESCP's admissions RESULTS date, not its application deadline — the real last round closed on 7 May, four weeks earlier. (2) R4 is only open to applicants whose previous studies were outside France; if you hold a French degree, R3 is your last round. Rounds 3 and 4 also run earlier campus-specific sub-rounds (R3.1 Berlin 9 Feb and Turin 16 Feb; R4.1 Turin 7 Apr in the 2025/26 cycle), and ESCP states that your deadline and admissions session are set by your country of residence at the time you apply — so confirm your own dates in ESCP's online application once the 2027 cycle opens R3 indicative — not published by the school
emlyon business school Master in Management — Programme Grande École emlyon publishes no dated rounds. Its own MiM page says only that the school "may close applications earlier, if all the seats in the class are filled, as it happens every year for many of our Master's programs", and advises applying as early as possible (checked 28 Aug 2026). It does run application sessions — the Early Bird scholarship is a 10% tuition reduction for applying in the first session and 5% for the second — but the session dates aren't on the page, and the 2025/26 application window closed on 26 August 2026. The four dates shown are OUR indication of emlyon's usual staged pattern; confirm the live session dates with the Recruitment & Admissions team. R3 indicative — not published by the school
Esade Business School Master in International Management (MSc) September 2027 intake — the nine staged deadlines Esade publishes on its MSc admissions timeline (read at source 2 Sep 2026). These are submission dates within a rolling process, not competitive rounds: the school assesses each complete file about a month after the stage it meets. The calendar is shared across Esade's MSc programmes, the Master in International Management among them. Stage 5
Nova School of Business and Economics International Master's in Management 2027 intake — exact rounds not yet published; dates projected from the recurring pattern. Re-checked 1 Sep 2026: Nova's own Master in Management page says only "Applications are closed" and publishes no 2027/28 calendar, so these remain our projection rather than the school's dates. Confirm on Nova's admissions page R1 (International / Double Degrees / CEMS) indicative — not published by the school
IESE Business School Master in Management (MiM) September 2027 intake (MiM-28), published by IESE — eight rounds, not the ten of the previous cycle. Non-EU applicants have an earlier effective cut-off: IESE says candidates without an EU passport must apply before 1 May due to Spanish immigration policy, which lands between Round 7 and Round 8 Round 6
Frankfurt School of Finance & Management Master in Management Published by Frankfurt School for the August 2027 intake; review is rolling, so the early-bird dates bind before the June one does Early Bird 2 (€2,000 tuition discount)
HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management Full-time Master in Management Fall 2027 intake, September start — applications open 15 September 2026. HHL publishes these dates itself: three Early Bird rounds carrying a tuition reduction (30 Nov − €4,500 · 31 Jan − €3,000 · 31 Mar − €1,500), then 31 May, the final deadline for international (non-EU) applicants who need a visa, and 30 June, the final deadline for EU applicants and non-EU applicants who don't. The GMAT/GRE or HHL Entry Test may be submitted after the deadline (until 15 August for either final round). R3 (Early Bird 3)
University of St. Gallen Master in Strategy and International Management Autumn 2027 entry · the four rounds HSG publishes on the SIM admission page, with decisions by 8 Dec 2026, 28 Feb, 30 Apr and 31 May 2027. They are the same for every applicant — HSG states no separate EU/non-EU deadline.

Master in Management application deadlines in April 2027
Date Programme Round
Radboud University Master of Science in Business Administration Recurring annual deadlines for the September intake, re-read verbatim on Radboud's central master's deadlines page on 1 Sep 2026 — it publishes them as standing rules with no year attached, which is why they are marked indicative here. Non-EU/EEA: 1 April (or 31 January if you want to be considered for a scholarship). EU/EEA: this is TWO deadlines, not one — 1 May if you need Radboud's housing assistance, but 1 July if you don't. Dutch-diploma holders also have until 1 July. Enrolment (a separate, later step) must be complete by 1 June for non-EU/EEA and 15 August for EU/EEA. Confirm the current cycle on Radboud's application page. September 2027 intake — non-EEA citizens indicative — not published by the school
TalTech School of Business and Governance International Business in the Digital Era (MA) Indicative — 2027/2028 calendar not yet set Non-EU citizens (indicative) indicative — not published by the school
Utrecht University MSc International Management Recurring annual deadlines for the single September intake, for applicants with a non-Dutch degree. Re-read at source on 1 Sep 2026 and confirmed verbatim — Utrecht publishes them without a cycle year, which is why they stay marked indicative: "Application deadline for scholarship candidates 1 February", "Non-EU passport holders 1 April", "EU passport holders 1 June". Applications open 1 October, so the window for the September 2027 intake opens within weeks of this check. Holders of a Dutch research-university degree apply on a later timeline. Confirm the current round on Utrecht's application page. September 2027 intake — non-EU/EEA citizens (non-Dutch degree) indicative — not published by the school
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam – School of Business and Economics MSc Business Administration Re-read on VU's central apply page on 1 Sep 2026. VU dates its deadlines by cycle, and the cycle it currently publishes is the one that has just closed: 1 April 2026 (non-EU/EEA needing a visa) and 1 June 2026 (EU/EEA), with applications for the next round opening "from the beginning of October". The September 2027 dates below are therefore projected one year on and marked indicative. Enrolment must be complete by 31 August to start on 1 September. SCOPE CHECKED 2026-09-04: these are university-wide dates for applicants holding a non-Dutch university degree, and the page names its own exceptions — an extended 15 July deadline for a listed set of (pre)master's programmes, which MSc Business Administration is NOT on, so 1 June is this programme's date. Corrected the same read: 1 December is VU's ADVISED programme-application date, not the scholarship deadline. The scholarship deadline is 1 February, and the VUFP, HSP and OTS awards can only be applied for once you are conditionally admitted — which takes around six weeks — so 1 December is a planning date working back from 1 February. Confirm the 2027 dates on VU's page once October's cycle opens September 2027 intake — non-EU/EEA (needs visa/residence permit) indicative — not published by the school
ESSEC Business School Master in Management — Grande École 2027-intake exact dates not yet published; rounds shown follow ESSEC's recurring four-round pattern (deadlines at noon CET/CEST). Re-checked 1 Sep 2026 across ESSEC's public MiM programme and international-degree admission pages: both describe "several rounds of applications" but neither publishes a dated calendar — ESSEC carries the round dates inside its application portal instead, so there is no public page to confirm them against. Check the portal, or ask admissions, before planning around these R4 indicative — not published by the school

ISM University of Management and Economics International Marketing and Management Indicative. The dates shown repeat the calendar ISM published for the September 2026 intake — early admission 1 Nov–30 Apr, main admission to 31 May for candidates from visa-regime countries and to 24 July for visa-free and CIS countries, additional admission to 14 August — which had closed when this profile was written on 2026-09-07. ISM's own regulations say the next cycle's exact dates are published 'by 1 November of the current year', so confirm them on ism.lt/admission before planning around one. Early admission — opens 1 November (indicative) indicative — not published by the school
Nova School of Business and Economics International Master's in Management 2027 intake — exact rounds not yet published; dates projected from the recurring pattern. Re-checked 1 Sep 2026: Nova's own Master in Management page says only "Applications are closed" and publishes no 2027/28 calendar, so these remain our projection rather than the school's dates. Confirm on Nova's admissions page R2 (General) indicative — not published by the school
University of St. Gallen Master in Strategy and International Management Autumn 2027 entry · the four rounds HSG publishes on the SIM admission page, with decisions by 8 Dec 2026, 28 Feb, 30 Apr and 31 May 2027. They are the same for every applicant — HSG states no separate EU/non-EU deadline.

Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) Master in Management 2027-intake dates are NOT published (checked 1 Sep 2026) — USI's application page still describes the 2026/27 cycle, which opened on 9 December 2025 and closed on 30 April 2026 for non-EU/EFTA candidates and 30 June 2026 for Swiss and EU/EFTA candidates.

Vlerick Business School Masters in International Management and Strategy September 2027 intake — Vlerick publishes one dated cut-off, the 30 April 2027 deadline for applicants who need a visa to study in Belgium (read at source 2 Sep 2026).

Radboud University Master of Science in Business Administration Recurring annual deadlines for the September intake, re-read verbatim on Radboud's central master's deadlines page on 1 Sep 2026 — it publishes them as standing rules with no year attached, which is why they are marked indicative here. Non-EU/EEA: 1 April (or 31 January if you want to be considered for a scholarship). EU/EEA: this is TWO deadlines, not one — 1 May if you need Radboud's housing assistance, but 1 July if you don't. Dutch-diploma holders also have until 1 July. Enrolment (a separate, later step) must be complete by 1 June for non-EU/EEA and 15 August for EU/EEA.

IESE Business School Master in Management (MiM) September 2027 intake (MiM-28), published by IESE — eight rounds, not the ten of the previous cycle. Non-EU applicants have an earlier effective cut-off: IESE says candidates without an EU passport must apply before 1 May due to Spanish immigration policy, which lands between Round 7 and Round 8 Round 7
London Business School Masters in Management August 2027 intake — LBS has now PUBLISHED its application calendar (the cycle it calls "MiM2028"), and these are its own dates, read on the apply page 7 Sep 2026. This corrects the indicative September/November/January/March/June dates we showed until 5 Sep 2026, which were projected from earlier cycles while LBS's "Application calendar" tab was still empty — a reader flagged the gap and the school had filled it in the meantime. LBS numbers these Stage 1–4; each closes at 23:59 UK time on the day shown, and Admissions Committee decisions are emailed by 18:00 UK time. Stage 3 (8 March) is also the scholarship cut-off. R4
ESCP Business School Master in Management — Grande École 2027-intake dates are NOT published — ESCP's programme page says admissions for September 2026 are closed and that "applications for a 2027 entry will open soon", with the online application marked "coming soon" (checked 1 Sep 2026). The four dates shown are projected one year on from ESCP's own published 2025/2026 Direct Admission calendar: R1 23 Oct 2025, R2 15 Jan 2026, R3 12 Mar 2026, R4 7 May 2026. Two corrections from that re-read. (1) The R4 date this page previously showed (3 June) was ESCP's admissions RESULTS date, not its application deadline — the real last round closed on 7 May, four weeks earlier. (2) R4 is only open to applicants whose previous studies were outside France; if you hold a French degree, R3 is your last round. Rounds 3 and 4 also run earlier campus-specific sub-rounds (R3.1 Berlin 9 Feb and Turin 16 Feb; R4.1 Turin 7 Apr in the 2025/26 cycle), and ESCP states that your deadline and admissions session are set by your country of residence at the time you apply — so confirm your own dates in ESCP's online application once the 2027 cycle opens R4 indicative — not published by the school
Esade Business School Master in International Management (MSc) September 2027 intake — the nine staged deadlines Esade publishes on its MSc admissions timeline (read at source 2 Sep 2026). These are submission dates within a rolling process, not competitive rounds: the school assesses each complete file about a month after the stage it meets. The calendar is shared across Esade's MSc programmes, the Master in International Management among them. Stage 7
Goethe University Frankfurt M.Sc. in Management Science Recurring annual window, confirmed verbatim on Goethe's own application page on 1 Sep 2026: "You can apply for the master's program from January 15 until May 15 (application for the first semester)." The dates are exact rather than approximate — earlier wording here hedged them with a tilde — but Goethe publishes them as a standing annual rule with no cycle year, so the marker stays indicative. Goethe notifies early applicants within four to six weeks and the rest in July; applicants from China, Vietnam and India also need an APS certificate, which takes time, so start well before the May cut-off Winter semester (autumn intake) indicative — not published by the school
IE Business School Master in Management IE publishes NO application deadlines. Its own admissions page answers "Is there a deadline to apply?" with: "No, there is no deadline because we have a rolling admissions process, which means that you can apply at any time of the year" (checked 28 Aug 2026). There are September and January intakes and decisions come back in roughly 1–3 weeks, so the three dates shown here are OUR guide to when applying still leaves comfortable room for a seat, a visa and financial aid — not IE rounds. Apply as early as you can; IE says it receives a large volume of applications. R3 indicative — not published by the school
LMU Munich M.Sc. Management and Digital Technologies (MMT) Recurring annual window — applications open 1 February and close 15 May for the October start; confirm the exact current-cycle dates on LMU's own page Winter semester (October intake)
Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University MScBA Master in Management September 2027 intake — applications open 1 October 2026 and close 15 May 2027, but RSM states the window shuts "earlier if programme is full": the programme is capped at ~300 places and listed under its maximum-capacity, rolling-admissions programmes, so treat May as a backstop. Final (September 2027 entry)
University of Mannheim Business School Mannheim Master in Management Single annual round, fall start — applications run ~1 April–15 May; the 2026 cycle has closed and 1 April–15 May 2027 is now published for the 2027/28 intake Final
HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management Full-time Master in Management Fall 2027 intake, September start — applications open 15 September 2026. HHL publishes these dates itself: three Early Bird rounds carrying a tuition reduction (30 Nov − €4,500 · 31 Jan − €3,000 · 31 Mar − €1,500), then 31 May, the final deadline for international (non-EU) applicants who need a visa, and 30 June, the final deadline for EU applicants and non-EU applicants who don't. The GMAT/GRE or HHL Entry Test may be submitted after the deadline (until 15 August for either final round). R4 (final — non-EU)
ISM University of Management and Economics International Marketing and Management Indicative. The dates shown repeat the calendar ISM published for the September 2026 intake — early admission 1 Nov–30 Apr, main admission to 31 May for candidates from visa-regime countries and to 24 July for visa-free and CIS countries, additional admission to 14 August — which had closed when this profile was written on 2026-09-07. ISM's own regulations say the next cycle's exact dates are published 'by 1 November of the current year', so confirm them on ism.lt/admission before planning around one. Main admission — visa-regime countries (indicative) indicative — not published by the school
Kühne Logistics University Master in International Management (MSc) One September intake — the programme starts 1 September each year. Re-read on 13 September 2026: the early-bird discount is a window, 1 November 2026 to 15 February 2027, and it reduces tuition by 10%; non-EU/international applicants then apply by 31 May and EU/European applicants by 31 July. A €50 application fee applies to everyone. Confirm the current-cycle dates on KLU's own programme page. Application close (non-EU / international applicants)
TUM School of Management Master in Management & Technology Fixed recurring windows, confirmed verbatim on TUM's own how-to-apply page on 1 Sep 2026: "The application period for the winter semester runs from April 1st until May 31st and for the summer semester from November 1st until November 30th every year." TUM states the rule annually rather than dating a cycle, which is why the date here is marked indicative; the window itself is not in doubt. The winter (main) intake carries an admissions test around July. The 2026/27 winter cycle has closed, so 1 April–31 May 2027 is the next winter window, with 1–30 November 2026 the nearer summer-semester option Final indicative — not published by the school

Date Programme Round
emlyon business school Master in Management — Programme Grande École emlyon publishes no dated rounds. Its own MiM page says only that the school "may close applications earlier, if all the seats in the class are filled, as it happens every year for many of our Master's programs", and advises applying as early as possible (checked 28 Aug 2026). It does run application sessions — the Early Bird scholarship is a 10% tuition reduction for applying in the first session and 5% for the second — but the session dates aren't on the page, and the 2025/26 application window closed on 26 August 2026. The four dates shown are OUR indication of emlyon's usual staged pattern; confirm the live session dates with the Recruitment & Admissions team. R4 indicative — not published by the school
KU Leuven Master of Science in Business Administration Indicative, and now unsourced at KU Leuven's end. The 1 March (non-EEA) / 1 June (EEA) pair was read on the Faculty of Economics and Business's English-master's page in July 2026; re-read 2026-09-04, that page (last updated 3 July 2026) no longer states any deadline at all. KU Leuven now publishes the date only through a lookup tool that requires you to pick academic year, nationality AND programme before it will show one, so there is no university-wide date this profile can quote. Treat these as the recurring shape, not as this cycle's dates, and run your own nationality and programme through KU Leuven's application-window tool. September 2027 intake — EEA citizens indicative — not published by the school
Maastricht University MSc International Business Two starts a year. The February 2027 dates are published and confirmed on Maastricht's own admission page (checked 28 Aug 2026): applications open via Studielink from 1 July 2026, close 1 November 2026 for non-EU/EEA applicants who need a visa or residence permit and 1 December 2026 for EU/EEA and Swiss nationals, with all MyApplication tasks due 31 January 2027. The September 2027 dates are NOT yet published — that page covers academic year 2026-2027 only — so the 1 May / 1 June rounds shown are projected from the pattern Maastricht repeats each cycle. All deadlines fall at 23:59 CET. September 2027 intake — EU/EEA indicative — not published by the school
TalTech School of Business and Governance International Business in the Digital Era (MA) Indicative — 2027/2028 calendar not yet set EU/EEA and Switzerland (indicative) indicative — not published by the school
Utrecht University MSc International Management Recurring annual deadlines for the single September intake, for applicants with a non-Dutch degree. Re-read at source on 1 Sep 2026 and confirmed verbatim — Utrecht publishes them without a cycle year, which is why they stay marked indicative: "Application deadline for scholarship candidates 1 February", "Non-EU passport holders 1 April", "EU passport holders 1 June". Applications open 1 October, so the window for the September 2027 intake opens within weeks of this check. Holders of a Dutch research-university degree apply on a later timeline. Confirm the current round on Utrecht's application page. September 2027 intake — EU/EEA citizens (non-Dutch degree) indicative — not published by the school
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam – School of Business and Economics MSc Business Administration Re-read on VU's central apply page on 1 Sep 2026. VU dates its deadlines by cycle, and the cycle it currently publishes is the one that has just closed: 1 April 2026 (non-EU/EEA needing a visa) and 1 June 2026 (EU/EEA), with applications for the next round opening "from the beginning of October". The September 2027 dates below are therefore projected one year on and marked indicative. Enrolment must be complete by 31 August to start on 1 September. SCOPE CHECKED 2026-09-04: these are university-wide dates for applicants holding a non-Dutch university degree, and the page names its own exceptions — an extended 15 July deadline for a listed set of (pre)master's programmes, which MSc Business Administration is NOT on, so 1 June is this programme's date. Corrected the same read: 1 December is VU's ADVISED programme-application date, not the scholarship deadline. The scholarship deadline is 1 February, and the VUFP, HSP and OTS awards can only be applied for once you are conditionally admitted — which takes around six weeks — so 1 December is a planning date working back from 1 February. Confirm the 2027 dates on VU's page once October's cycle opens September 2027 intake — EU/EEA & Dutch-degree holders indicative — not published by the school
Esade Business School Master in International Management (MSc) September 2027 intake — the nine staged deadlines Esade publishes on its MSc admissions timeline (read at source 2 Sep 2026). These are submission dates within a rolling process, not competitive rounds: the school assesses each complete file about a month after the stage it meets. The calendar is shared across Esade's MSc programmes, the Master in International Management among them. Stage 8
IESE Business School Master in Management (MiM) September 2027 intake (MiM-28), published by IESE — eight rounds, not the ten of the previous cycle. Non-EU applicants have an earlier effective cut-off: IESE says candidates without an EU passport must apply before 1 May due to Spanish immigration policy, which lands between Round 7 and Round 8 Round 8
ESB Business School M.Sc. Global Management and Digital Competencies One winter-semester (Sept/Oct) intake. Deadlines vary by partner track: Italian-German ~15 Jun, Canadian-German ~30 Jun, Franco-German and Irish-German (double degrees) ~15 Jul (non-EU DCU applicants ~1 Jul). Confirm the exact current-cycle date for your track on ESB's own page. Application close (Italian-German / single-degree track)
University College Cork, Cork University Business School MSc Management and Marketing UCC admits this MSc on a rolling basis and publishes no dated rounds. For EU applicants the course page states a 'Rolling deadline. Open until all places have been filled', with early application advised. For non-EU applicants it states 'Open until all places have been filled or no later than 15 June' — a standing rule rather than a cycle-specific date, so the 15 June 2027 shown below is that rule carried into the next cycle and is marked indicative. Places can close before either date. Confirm the current cycle's opening and closing dates in the fact-file boxes at the top of UCC's own course page. Non-EU applicants — latest closing date indicative — not published by the school
Ca' Foscari University of Venice Master's Degree Programme in International Management Autumn intake, and the three dates charted are OURS, not Ca' Foscari's: they project the 2027/28 cycle from the 2026/27 rounds the university actually published, because the 2027/28 calendar is not out yet (checked 2 September 2026). For 2026/27 the real dates were round 1 from 17 December 2025 to 14 January 2026, round 2 from 4 February to 4 March 2026, and a final master's deadline of 17 June 2026 for EU/EEA citizens and non-EU holders of an Italian residence permit. That cycle is now closed — the portal states that non-EU applicants requiring a visa can no longer apply for 2026/27 at all. Rounds are citizenship-specific and are published only after you set your nationality on apply.unive.it. You may submit ONE application per academic year covering up to two programmes, and the priority order cannot be changed afterwards. Confirm your own round on apply.unive.it before relying on any date. Final master's deadline, EU/EEA and permit holders — indicative indicative — not published by the school

Frankfurt School of Finance & Management Master in Management Published by Frankfurt School for the August 2027 intake; review is rolling, so the early-bird dates bind before the June one does Final application deadline
HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management Full-time Master in Management Fall 2027 intake, September start — applications open 15 September 2026. HHL publishes these dates itself: three Early Bird rounds carrying a tuition reduction (30 Nov − €4,500 · 31 Jan − €3,000 · 31 Mar − €1,500), then 31 May, the final deadline for international (non-EU) applicants who need a visa, and 30 June, the final deadline for EU applicants and non-EU applicants who don't. The GMAT/GRE or HHL Entry Test may be submitted after the deadline (until 15 August for either final round). R5 (final — EU)
Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) Master in Management 2027-intake dates are NOT published (checked 1 Sep 2026) — USI's application page still describes the 2026/27 cycle, which opened on 9 December 2025 and closed on 30 April 2026 for non-EU/EFTA candidates and 30 June 2026 for Swiss and EU/EFTA candidates. The three dates shown are projected one year on from that published calendar: USI reviews applications in three rounds with deadlines 'at the end of February, April, and June (the June deadline only for Swiss and EU/EFTA candidates)' and communicates decisions within three weeks of each round. Confirm the exact dates on USI's own page once the cycle opens — and note that USI's two pages disagree on late applications, the admission page saying they 'will not be accepted' and the application page saying they 'will be considered only in the case of available places' Round 3 — Swiss and EU/EFTA candidates only indicative — not published by the school

University of St Andrews Business School Management (MSc) One published deadline for the whole cycle. St Andrews states 'Application deadline Thursday 5 August 2027' on the 2027-entry programme page and publishes no rounds, no stages and no separate international cut-off. Read it as the last possible date rather than as the date to aim for: a visa-needing applicant who submits in August cannot realistically start in September, and the GREAT Scholarship window for the previous cycle closed in May. September 2027 entry — application deadline

Alba Graduate Business School MSc in Management Alba runs rolling admission — 'Alba operates on a rolling admissions basis and accepts applications throughout the year' — and publishes exactly one date for the current cycle: 'LAST CALL – LIMITED SEATS AVAILABLE | New Application Deadline: 14 September, 2026' against a September 2026 start. That one is published and current. The 2027 row is OURS, repeating the same last-call point a year on, because the school publishes no 2027 date at all; treat it as the shape to plan around, not a date to plan against. The rule that actually governs a late application is the school's own: 'Applications received after the program's start date will not be considered for the current intake but will be evaluated for the following year's intake.' Read 7 September 2026. Rolling admission — September 2027 intake (indicative) indicative — not published by the school

A note on the dates. Every date here comes from the school's own admissions pages and is re-checked each cycle, but schools move their dates, add or drop rounds, and sometimes change their admissions model — so confirm the exact deadline on the school's own admissions page before you plan around it. Rows tagged Recurring annual window show a school's typical annual dates where the next cycle's exact dates weren't published when we last checked; rows tagged September 2026 intake are for 2026 entry, an earlier cycle than the 2027 rounds shown for most schools. A round marked indicative — not published by the school is our projection, not the school's date: either the school runs that round every year but hasn't published the next cycle's date yet, or it admits on a rolling basis and publishes no rounds at all. 58 of the 149 rounds below are indicative; the rest are dates the school states itself.

You've got the dates — now plan around them.

A calendar tells you when; it can't tell you where or whether. Use the weeks it just bought you to get the rest of the application right:

MiM deadlines, answered

What are the application deadlines for a MiM in Europe in 2026–27?
There is no single date — each European Master in Management runs its own rounds, and across the 56 programmes tracked here the 2026–27 cycle spans from autumn 2026 through to summer 2027. The calendar above lists every round we track, month by month, with the exact date and round for each school — and marks the ones the school hasn't published yet, so you can tell a date you can plan against from one to confirm. Most programmes open in the early autumn and admit in waves until places fill, so the deadline that matters to you is the earliest round you can submit a genuinely strong application for.
When do MiM applications open for the 2027 intake?
Most European MiMs open their application portal in September or October of the year before the intake, then run several rounds into the following spring or early summer. A handful open earlier with an "early" or priority round, and some admit on a rolling basis from the day they open. Practically, aim to have your shortlist and any test booked 9–12 months ahead, and to submit in Round 1 or early Round 2 while the most seats and scholarship budget are still available.
Which European MiMs have the earliest deadlines?
It varies by cycle, but the calendar above is ordered chronologically, so the programmes with the earliest published rounds sit at the top — those are the ones to act on first. Several schools open a first or early round in the autumn before the intake year; others stay open into the following summer. Rather than memorise this, read it off the calendar and work backwards from your top choices.
Do all MiM programmes use application rounds?
Most do — typically two to five rounds (R1, R2, R3…), sometimes with an early round before them — and a meaningful share admit on a rolling basis instead, assessing files as they arrive until the class is full. Earlier rounds generally carry more seats and better scholarship odds. A few schools use a single fixed deadline. The round column above shows which model each programme uses.
Can I still apply if an early round has already closed?
Usually yes. Because European MiMs run multiple rounds, a closed Round 1 is rarely the end — later rounds are still open at most schools, though seats and scholarship budget thin out as the cycle progresses. The calendar marks rounds whose date has passed, so you can see at a glance which windows are still ahead. A strong later-round application still beats a rushed early one.
How current are these deadline dates?
Each date is pulled from the programme's own profile on this site, which sources it from the school's published admissions pages and is re-checked each cycle. But schools do move their dates, add or drop rounds, and occasionally change their admissions model — so treat this as a planning guide, not a guarantee, and always confirm the exact deadline on the school's own admissions page before you plan around it.
