Frequently asked questions
Do you need a GMAT for the King's International Management MSc?
No — the GMAT is not required. Entry is a high 2:1 honours bachelor's degree (an overall average of at least 65%) in any academic subject, as the programme is open to graduates of any discipline, plus King's English language Band B (typically IELTS 7.0 overall with 6.5 in each component) or an accepted equivalent. King's notes that a strong GMAT or GRE is optional and can strengthen an application. On the English test itself, every exemption King's publishes runs through the UKVI list of majority English-speaking countries — a university qualification from one of them within five years, a year of study currently under way at a NARIC-recognised university in one, or nationality plus permanent residence there — so an English-medium degree from India, Pakistan, Nigeria or Bangladesh does not exempt you. The medium-of-instruction letter route exists at King's but is offered only to applicants who do not need a Student visa.

- King's College London — English language requirements (postgraduate taught). ENGLISH EVIDENCE CHECKED 2026-09-06 (P33b, UK leg): every exemption King's publishes is tied to the UKVI list of majority English-speaking countries, and none of them reaches India, Pakistan, Nigeria or Bangladesh. Verbatim routes: 'Competency for nationals of a UKVI defined majority English speaking countries — If you are a national of a UKVI defined majority English speaking country, you will not be required to take an English language test'; 'Competency through previous education in a UKVI defined majority English speaking country — You must have obtained a University level qualification from a UKVI defined majority English speaking country, no more than 5 years prior to the course start date'; and 'Competency through Higher education... If you are currently enrolled at a university in a UKVI defined majority English speaking country. You must have successfully completed 1 year of study and a University recognised on NARIC at the required academic standard for entry.' Nationals 'may also be exempt... provided they have lived in this country or another UKVI-defined majority English speaking country as their permanent residence'. Recorded because it is the trap on this page: the medium-of-instruction-style routes — secondary-school English within 5 years, and 'a letter of English language proficiency from your home institution' — are offered only to 'applicants who do not require a Student visa to study in the UK or applicants who are applying for semester only programmes', so most international applicants cannot use them. Tests must be dated within two years of the first day of the month the programme starts. This profile previously stated the English bar without saying who is exempt from it. Read via browser-UA curl. P33f RE-READ 2026-09-12: read again for one question only — does submitting a test result BELOW the course requirement remove an exemption the applicant would otherwise hold, as Bath states ('you will not be exempt')? This page publishes NO rule either way. Recorded as a dated SILENCE on that question, never as permission: a page that says nothing has not promised to ignore a weak score. ↗ — King's College London
