The GMAT and GRE are not required for Cambridge's MPhil in Management, and submitting a score will not strengthen your application — the school is explicit that the decision rests on your academic record, personal statement and references. Entry is demanding nonetheless: a UK First Class Honours degree (or overseas equivalent) in a subject other than business or management, achieved within the last year, plus strong English (IELTS 7.5 overall, no element below 7.0, or TOEFL 110 overall, no element below 25). The school also looks for good interpersonal, communication, team-working, numeracy, problem-solving and reasoning skills.

A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the Cambridge Judge Business School MiM — it is one of the 75 of 118 Master's in Management we track (about 64%) that admit without a required test. See every European MiM you can apply to without a GMAT on our MiM without the GMAT shortlist, or read how GMAT waivers work.
Most European MiM programs, including this one, accept the GRE and often the GMAT Focus Edition or a school-specific test as alternatives, and weigh the whole application — academics, internships, essays, and interview — rather than the score alone.

- Cambridge Judge Business School — MPhil in Management. FEE CYCLE CHECKED 2026-09-13 (P25b, UK leg) and NOT RESOLVED — a specific negative. Judge's own MPhil in Management pages ARE reachable (browser-UA curl, HTTP 200) and none of them states a fee: the programme page, /apply/ and /faqs/ carry no figure at all, and the fees page linked from search results (/masters-degrees/mphil-management/fees-funding/) returns HTTP 404 to both curl and WebFetch. The University's own course directory entry renders its 'Fees and Maintenance' table client-side, so it comes back as 'Loading...' to every non-rendering client tried. So the profile's GBP 42,468 keeps NO cycle label. What the pages DO state, read this run: 'Admissions for October 2027 entry are now open. The closing date for applications will be 25 February 2027.' A search engine's summary asserting a 2026/27 label for this figure was NOT treated as verification, because no fetch returned it ↗ — Cambridge Judge Business School

- Cambridge Judge Business School — MPhil in Management, Apply (FAQs). SELECTION CHECKED 2026-09-11 (P24e): the no-test tier reproduces at source, and the school's own wording is stronger than a paraphrase — "Do you require a GRE/GMAT score as part of the application process? No, we don't require a GRE/GMAT score and it will not add any value to your application." The same FAQ set records the eligibility bar this programme is unusual for: "The programme is designed for graduates who have not previously studied business or management", and "If you have previously studied more than three modules in accounting, finance, human resources, marketing, operations management, strategy or supply chain management, you will not be eligible for the programme" ↗ — Cambridge Judge Business School
