Excelia Business School MiM Application Deadlines

Master in Management (Programme Grande École) · La Rochelle, France · FT #39

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

Excelia runs rolling, year-round admissions for the Master in Management rather than fixed application rounds, and it is one of the few schools that says so outright: re-read on 5 September 2026, its admission page states that candidates "can complete this assessment at any time throughout the year, with no predefined session dates". The turnaround is published too — you get five days to answer the video interview's questions, and Excelia says you "will receive notification of your admission or non-admission within 6 days following your interview". That makes Excelia one of the most flexible French entries on timing, with no single cliff-edge deadline — but seats and scholarship funding still fill as the cycle progresses, so applying earlier remains the safer move. Map it against the schools that do run fixed rounds on our deadline tracker.

Exact dates for the upcoming intake are confirmed against the school's official admissions page as they are published.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need the GMAT for the Excelia Master in Management?
No. Excelia admits to its Master in Management through an online application and a video interview rather than the GMAT, GRE or Tage Mage. You will still need to meet a language requirement — typically B2-level English or French unless your degree was taught in that language — and provide the usual supporting documents. Because there is no admissions test, Excelia publishes no admitted-student score average, so there is no range to quote.
When is the Excelia Master in Management application deadline?
Excelia runs rolling, year-round admissions rather than fixed rounds — you can apply at any time and the school turns the video interview around quickly. There is no single deadline, but seats and scholarship funding can fill as the cycle progresses, so applying earlier is still safer. Confirm the current intake calendar and any campus-specific cut-offs on Excelia's own admissions page.

  • Excelia Business School — Master in Management (Programme Grande École). NEGATIVE RE-TESTED 2026-09-05, and both reproduced — this is the control case for the sweep. The page still names no GMAT, GRE or Tage Mage requirement and publishes no admitted-student score average, and the rolling-admissions claim is now quotable in the school's own words rather than inferred from silence: candidates 'can complete this assessment at any time throughout the year, with no predefined session dates'. Also captured, and previously only described as 'a fast turnaround': candidates 'have 5 days to respond to a series of questions' in the online video interview, and 'will receive notification of their admission or non-admission within 6 days following their interview'. The €50 admission fee is confirmed on the same page. FEE INTAKE CHECKED 2026-09-05: the page still prices by entry year without an academic-year label anywhere on it — €14,000–€15,000 EU and €14,750–€15,750 non-EU, unchanged since 23 June 2026 — so no intake can be attached to this fee without inventing one. FEE BASIS CHECKED 2026-09-06 (P36): the fee table gives TWO rates for the same programme year, split by entry point — 'Year 3 (First-year entry) €14,000' against 'Year 3 (Third-year entry) €15,000', and the same split at Years 4 and 5, where the second column is labelled 'Third-year entry or Master'. A bachelor's-holder entering the master cycle therefore pays €15,000 (EU) / €15,750 (non-EU) for both years, i.e. €30,000 / €31,500 — not the €28,000-€31,000 band this profile carried, whose floor was the first-year entrant's rate. feesNumeric corrected 29,000 to 30,000 (EU basis, matching the convention used at Rennes and ISCTE).
