ICN Business School MiM Application Deadlines

Master in Management (Programme Grande École) · Nancy, France · FT #67

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

ICN runs its Master in Management as the master cycle of a three-year Programme Grande École with a September intake, and admits international applicants through an application file plus motivation and language interviews rather than a single cliff-edge round. The practical timing is set by region — ICN staggers its international cut-offs so that non-EU applicants apply earlier than EU applicants, to leave room for visa processing — and seats and scholarship funding fill as the cycle progresses, so applying earlier is the safer move. The 2026-intake international deadlines fell in early summer 2026 and have closed; confirm the current cycle's dates on ICN's own admissions page, and map them against the schools that 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 ICN Master in Management?
No. ICN admits international applicants to its Master in Management through an application file plus motivation and language interviews rather than the GMAT or GRE. (French post-prépa candidates sit the BCE exam and Bac+2/+3 holders enter via the AST parallel-admissions route, but neither is a GMAT/GRE.) You will still need to meet the academic-level and English-language requirements — for the English-taught master route, roughly IELTS 6.0 / TOEFL 80 / TOEIC 750 / Duolingo 105. Because there is no admissions-test gate on the international route, ICN publishes no admitted-student score average, so there is no range to quote.
