The GMAT is not listed as a requirement for the ISCTE Business School Master Degree in Management. The programme is designed for candidates who already hold an undergraduate degree in management or a closely related business field, and admission is assessed on that academic background rather than a standardised test; applicants without a management background are directed toward ISCTE's MBA instead. Re-checked 13 September 2026: the programme page still states no English-test minimum and names no test at all, and it names no category of applicant who must provide evidence either — this page used to say non-native speakers should expect to, which was our inference rather than ISCTE's rule. The school directs applicants to the page's "Application" section for admission requirements and eligibility criteria, so ask there what English evidence it will accept.

| MiMs we track admitting without a required GMAT/GRE | 75 of 118 |
A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the ISCTE Business School MiM — it is one of the 75 of 118 Master's in Management we track (about 64%) that admit without a required test. See every European MiM you can apply to without a GMAT on our MiM without the GMAT shortlist, or read how GMAT waivers work.
Most European MiM programs, including this one, accept the GRE and often the GMAT Focus Edition or a school-specific test as alternatives, and weigh the whole application — academics, internships, essays, and interview — rather than the score alone.

- ISCTE Business School — Master Degree in Management. ENGLISH EVIDENCE CHECKED 2026-09-13 (P33b), read from the page's own embedded payload rather than the rendered shell. The English negative reproduces for the third read — no test named, no minimum stated — and it is sharper than that: the page names NO CATEGORY OF APPLICANT who must provide language evidence. This profile previously said non-native speakers should expect to; that who-clause was ours and has been removed rather than re-sourced. What the page does say, verbatim, is 'Please refer to the "Application" section to check the admission requirements and eligibility criteria' and 'If your background is not management-related, please apply to the Master in Business Administration instead'. THE TWO-CLASS CLAIM REPRODUCES and is now corroborated twice over: the fact strip reads 'Languages Portuguese and English' and 'Lectured in Portuguese and English', and the awards block names both classes separately — 'PwC rewards the best MSc in Management Student (Lecture in Portuguese - academic year 2025/2026)' and 'Deloitte rewards the best MSc in Management Student (Lecture in English - academic year 2025/2026)'. Unchanged this read: 'Duration 1.5 years', 'ECTS 96', 'Vacancies 200', EU '1. st Year 5750.00 €' / '2. nd Year 1600.00 €', non-EU '7000.00 €' / '2800.00 €', all under '* Information for 2026/2027'. NEW STATUS: 'At this moment, all vacancies for this course are filled'. The 'Application' tab's phase table was not re-read this pass, so the 09-05 calendar record below stands as last verified. NEGATIVE RE-TESTED 2026-09-05, and one of the two did not reproduce. This profile asserted from 21 June 2026 that ISCTE 'does not publish a single fixed next-cycle cut-off as a firm date on the programme page'. It does: the page carries an 'Applications' table of six numbered phases labelled 2026/2027, each timed to the minute — 2025-12-15 09:30 to 2026-01-14 17:00, 2026-01-15 09:30 to 2026-02-25 17:00, 2026-02-26 09:30 to 2026-04-06 17:00, 2026-04-07 09:30 to 2026-05-13 17:00, 2026-05-14 09:30 to 2026-06-24 17:00, and 2026-06-25 09:30 to 2026-08-26 17:00. All six have closed and no 2027/2028 phases are published, so no dated round is carried into the tracker. The second negative DID reproduce: the page still states no English-test minimum and names no standardised test. FEE INTAKE CHECKED 2026-09-05: the fee table is headed 'Information for 2026/2027' and reads EU 1st year 5750.00 €, 2nd year 1600.00 €; non-EU 1st year 7000.00 €, 2nd year 2800.00 € — every figure unchanged since 21 June 2026, and no 2027/2028 table exists ↗ — ISCTE Business School
