The GMAT is not required for Henley's MSc Management. Entry is a good second-class undergraduate degree (or international equivalent) in any discipline — the programme is built for recent graduates with up to two years of professional experience — plus IELTS 6.5 (with no component below 5.5) for non-native English speakers. Work experience is not required, and no class-average test score is published, so treat the academic and English thresholds as the bar.
Henley Business School does not publish a GMAT range.
