A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the Esade 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.

- Esade Business School — Master's in International Management (programme overview). ROUTE CORRECTED 2026-09-07 (P36c): the URL recorded against this profile used the singular /program/master-in-... path, and while the overview itself still resolves, its /admissions and /career-future children both 404 — the live estate uses /program/masters-in-international-management/... Separately, the URL the queue had filed as the Esade blocker, esade.edu/en/programmes/masters/master-science-international-management, 404s because the whole MSc estate sits under a different path prefix (esade.edu/master-of-science/en), not because Esade refuses us. The page's own Program Details block reads 'Duration One academic year – Full Time – 60 ECTS / Start Date: September 2027', with study tours and a 3–6 month internship both listed as optional ↗ — Esade Business School

- Esade Business School — MSc fees & financing. FEE CYCLE READ AT SOURCE 2026-09-07 (P36c) and confirmed identical on the programme's own fees page and on a cache-busted re-fetch. The table is headed 'MSc Tuition Fees 2027-2028' and reads 'One year program €39.000' over a list that names the MSc in International Management, so the €37,500 this profile carried is the 2026-2027 figure and the 2027-2028 cycle — the one the profile's own nine staged deadlines belong to — is €39,000. Esade quotes ONE figure for all nationalities; there is no EU / non-EU split. Global Master's are €43,200 (fees stated to cover housing during the Global Immersion Program, but not flights or meals). Two-year totals are published as totals, not as add-ons: CEMS MIM €55,200, MSc Esade + MSc Esade €60,300, MSc Esade + MSc Partner School €60,300, MSc Esade + Global Master €82,200.
