Frequently asked questions
How much does the IESE Master in Management cost?
Total tuition for the September 2026 intake (Class of 2027) is €52,000. A €10,000 commitment fee is due after admission to hold a seat and is deducted from the total, with the remaining €42,000 instalment due in September. There is also a €120 application fee. IESE allocates merit-based scholarships on a rolling basis, so applying early helps.
What is the IESE Master in Management class profile?
The IESE MiM is a pre-experience programme — the average age at entry is 23, students typically have zero to two years of work experience, and the cohort represents more than 30 nationalities. It is taught entirely in English, and IESE selects for academic strength and international diversity rather than a single background.
What GMAT score do you need for the IESE Master in Management?
IESE does not publish a class-average GMAT, and you are not obliged to take the GMAT specifically — the GRE and IESE's own admissions test are accepted alternatives. For reference, IESE has cited an admitted range of roughly 545–715 on the GMAT Focus edition (580–750 on the classic GMAT). As a pre-experience programme it weighs academics, the aptitude score and fit together rather than a single cut-off.
From the forums
Self-reported posts from applicants and students on public forums — useful colour, but anecdotal and unverified. Not official school data.
In a three-way comparison of the IESE, Esade and IE MiMs, a candidate noted IESE's higher tuition (≈€45–52k vs Esade ≈€33k) but that an IE-vs-IESE poll ran 87% in IESE's favour.
Forum discussion of the IESE MiM flagged that strong Spanish (C1+) materially helps local placement, and that non-EU candidates should plan around visa-sponsorship constraints.
