Corvinus does not strictly require the GMAT or GRE for its Master in Management. Admission to the standalone MSc in Management runs through an in-house written entrance examination (plus an oral exam for some applicants), and a recognised test score is accepted as an alternative if you have one — at least GMAT 500, GRE 300, NMAT 150 or CAT 80th percentile. Because no GMAT average is published for admitted students, there is no score range to quote — the figures above are the minimum thresholds the school will accept, not a class profile. The standalone MSc in Management does not mandate a separate English certificate, though the programme is taught entirely in English; the CEMS-integrated Management & Leadership track does require TOEFL iBT 100 or IELTS 7.0. If you're weighing test-optional routes, see our guide to a MiM in Europe without the GMAT.

A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the Corvinus University of Budapest 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.
