EBS requires a standardised admission test for the Master in Management, but applicants can choose which one: a valid GMAT (Classic or Focus Edition), GRE, the Business Admissions Test (BAT), EBS's own EBSgrad test, or the CAT. No minimum score or class-average is officially published, and the in-house EBSgrad option lets candidates satisfy the requirement without sitting an external exam — a flexible policy by the standards of FT-ranked schools.
Admitted students at EBS Business School typically score in the GMAT, GRE or an accepted alternative (BAT, EBSgrad, CAT) required — no minimum score published GMAT range.

The EBS Business School MiM does weigh a test score (admitted students fall in the GMAT, GRE or an accepted alternative (BAT, EBSgrad, CAT) required — no minimum score published range) — but if a test-free route matters, 64 of 103 MiMs we track (about 62%) admit without a required GMAT or GRE. 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.
