No GMAT or GRE is required. Ca' Foscari's International Management is a limited-admission Laurea Magistrale: candidates sit a remote entry test that produces a ranking list, and only those high enough on it may enrol. What actually gates admission is the curricular requirement — a bachelor's in the Italian L-18 or L-33 classes (business administration or economics) or equivalent, or otherwise at least 60 CFU spread across business, economics, law and statistics/mathematics — plus mandatory B2 English.
Ca' Foscari University of Venice does not publish a GMAT range.
