The directory, answered

How many European Master in Management programmes are there?
This directory profiles 103 Master in Management programmes across 19 European countries — each with a full profile covering tuition, GMAT/GRE policy, class profile, graduate salary and application deadlines, with the source and the date we last checked it. It is not every MiM in Europe — there are hundreds of smaller programmes — but it covers the schools applicants most often weigh, from the Financial Times top tier to strong, lower-cost options.
Which is the best Master in Management in Europe?
There is no single best programme. By the Financial Times 2025 Masters in Management table, University of St. Gallen currently sits at the top of the European schools we track — but "best" depends on your target career, budget, location and odds of admission. Start from the composite rankings, then sort by what matters to you: the highest-salary, cheapest and no-GMAT shortlists each point somewhere different.
Can I do a Master in Management in Europe without the GMAT?
Yes. 91 of the programmes in this directory have an admission route that does not require a GMAT or GRE — some waive it for a strong quantitative background, others never ask for it. Test policies change every cycle, so confirm the current requirement on each school's own admissions page before you assume you can skip it. The no-GMAT shortlist gathers the test-optional programmes in one place.
How do I narrow 103 programmes down to a shortlist?
Browsing the full directory is the right way to start, but you do not have to do it by hand. The shortlist builder turns a few preferences — budget, target career, GMAT status, country — into a ranked shortlist in about a minute, and the deadline tracker then maps every chosen programme's application rounds on one timeline so nothing slips.
Are these Master in Management programmes taught in English?
The large majority are taught entirely in English — that is part of why a European MiM is so popular with international applicants — and many add an optional local-language track. Each profile states the language of instruction; where a programme needs a specific track or a language certificate, the profile says so.
