Excelia does not require the GMAT, GRE or Tage Mage for its Master in Management. Admission runs through an online application and a video interview rather than a standardised admissions test, with the usual supporting documents (CV, proof of academic level) and a language requirement — typically B2-level English or French unless your prior degree was taught in that language. Because there is no admissions test and Excelia does not publish an admitted-student test average, there is no score range to quote here. If you are weighing test-optional routes generally, see our guide to a MiM in Europe without the GMAT.

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.
