Master in Management

Antwerp Management School’s Master in Management is a one-year, English-taught Master in Management from a triple-accredited Belgian business school — open to graduates of any background, pitched at recent graduates with little or no work experience, and built around a clear sustainability and digital focus.¹

Overview

Antwerp Management School (AMS) holds the triple-crown accreditation that places it among the top 1% of business schools worldwide.¹ Its Master in Management is a pre-experience programme designed for recent graduates — and, unusually, it requires no prior business background, making it a genuine conversion route into management for graduates of any discipline.¹

Curriculum & Structure

The one-year programme is a broad management immersion — financial accounting, strategy, organisational behaviour, operations and marketing — with a distinctive emphasis on how to do sustainable business, including the impact of digitalisation, automation and AI.¹ A defining feature is an international study trip to ESADE Barcelona, with company visits built in for on-the-ground insight.¹ The fee bundles that trip’s transport and accommodation along with a Global Leadership workbook.

Application & Deadlines

A prior degree in management or business economics is not necessary — the programme is open to any academic background — and the GMAT is not required.¹ Non-native English speakers must demonstrate English proficiency, with Duolingo, IELTS and TOEFL scores accepted. The full-time programme starts in September (7 September 2026 for the 2026 intake); places are limited and applications are assessed on a rolling basis, so international candidates who need a visa should apply early and confirm the current timeline on the school’s page.

Tuition & Funding

Tuition is €19,900 (excluding VAT) for 2026/27, a figure that bundles student facilities, the international study trip and the Global Leadership workbook.¹ Partial scholarships are available for strong applicants who need financial support.

Career Outcomes

On average, graduates secure employment within three months of graduating.¹ Over the past decade the cohort has spread across sectors — around 16% into manufacturing and industry, 14% into technology/IT/telecom and 12% into consultancy — with top employers including Deloitte, Accenture, EY and L’Oréal.¹ Antwerp Management School does not publish a single headline graduate salary we can verify here, so we don’t quote one; confirm current outcomes on the school’s own page, and see the regional picture in our Belgium MiM career outcomes piece.

Reputation

A triple-crown accreditation, an any-background conversion structure, a sustainability-and-digital focus, and an international study trip make Antwerp Management School a distinctive one-year, English-taught Belgian MiM — particularly for graduates who want a broad, responsible-business-oriented management degree without a GMAT or a business bachelor.
