A GMAT or GRE is required for applicants who do not hold a UK undergraduate or graduate degree, so most international applicants should plan to take one; applicants with a UK degree may be asked for a score where they lack a post-16 maths qualification. Academic entry is an upper second-class (2:1) honours degree or international equivalent, in any discipline — it is a pre-experience, conversion-style programme, and work experience of three months or more is ideal but not required. Confirm the current test and academic requirements on the school's own page.
London School of Economics and Political Science does not publish a GMAT range.

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.
