Verified against official sources · last checked September 2026 · see sources

The GMAT is not required for EM Normandie's Master in Management. Entry is a three-year bachelor's degree (or equivalent) via application, and for holders of a non-French diploma the route is the application form. The English-taught track asks for IELTS 6, TOEFL iBT 83, TOEIC 790 or Duolingo 115 — and this page said until 13 September 2026 that the bar applied to non-native speakers. EM Normandie's own page does not say that: it lists the identical level twice, once "For non-English-speaking international candidates" and once "For English-speaking international candidates", so there is no published native-speaker exemption from the English evidence. The scoped rule is the French one — "B2 level of French for non-French-speaking international applicants" on the French-taught track. Confirm the current requirements on the school's own page.

MiMs we track admitting without a required GMAT/GRE 75 of 118

A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the EM Normandie 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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need a GMAT for EM Normandie's Master in Management?
No — the GMAT is not required. Entry is a three-year bachelor's degree (or equivalent) via application, with no specific prior work experience required; holders of a non-French diploma apply through the application form. The English-taught track asks for IELTS 6 / TOEFL 83 / TOEIC 790 / Duolingo 115. Read on 13 September 2026, EM Normandie lists that level twice — once for non-English-speaking international candidates and once for English-speaking ones — so it publishes no native-speaker exemption. The rule it does scope by language background is the French one: B2 French for non-French-speaking applicants on the French-taught track.

  • EM Normandie — Master in Management programme. ENGLISH EVIDENCE CHECKED 2026-09-13 (P33b) and it CORRECTED this profile. The admission block reads, verbatim: 'Non-French diploma holders: access via application form', 'Students who hold or are in the process of obtaining a 3-year bachelor's degree or equivalent', 'Selection based on application and interview', 'Programme in French: B2 level of French for non-French-speaking international applicants', 'Programme in English: - For non-English-speaking international candidates : English level IELTS 6 / TOEIC 790 / TOEFL 83 / DUOLINGO 115 - For English-speaking international candidates : English level IELTS 6 / TOEIC 790 / TOEFL 83 / DUOLINGO 115'. The two English lines are IDENTICAL, which is the finding: this profile attributed the bar to 'non-native speakers' and EM Normandie attaches it to English-speaking international candidates as well, so NO native-speaker exemption is published for English. The scoped rule is the French one, which shows the school writes a carve-out when it means one. NEGATIVE RECORDED: the word 'exempt' and the word 'waiver' appear nowhere in the admission block, and no country list or medium-of-instruction clause is published. Also read the same day: '90 seats available', 'Sessions run throughout the year, subject to availability', and the selection criteria 'Selection based on examination of the application file: seriousness of the application, quality of the academic and/or professional profile' followed by a remote interview with an academic advisor. FEE BASIS CHECKED 2026-09-06 (P36), and it reproduces: the page prices M1 and M2 identically at €13,750 for 2026-2027, so the two-year degree is €27,500 and feesNumeric already held the total. Two charges beside it that this profile did not carry: France's CVEC student-life contribution at €105, which the page names itself — notable because #780 found four of the five French fee pages it checked do not — and an optional €575 alumni-association membership. The off-campus optional year is €1,000 ↗ — EM Normandie Business School

  • EM Normandie — Work-study track, Master in Management. ALTERNANCE CHECKED 2026-09-07 (P44): the track covers 'the first year (M1)' and 'the final year (M2)' at '75% of the year in a company, i.e. 3 weeks per month in a company', and is 'accessible on the Caen, Le Havre and Paris campuses' — not Oxford. NEGATIVE RECORDED: the page states no tuition-coverage figure, no age limit, no French-language level and no condition for non-EU students ↗ — EM Normandie
