Unlike most schools in this group, the Louvain Master in Management requires a GMAT from applicants who hold a non-Belgian bachelor's degree — a minimum score of 550, or an accepted TAGE-MAGE or GRE equivalent, with exemptions for graduates of CEMS or double-degree partner universities. Holders of a Belgian bachelor's are admitted on their academic average instead.
Admitted students at Louvain School of Management typically score in the 550+ for non-Belgian bachelor's holders GMAT range.
| Admitted GMAT range | 550+ for non-Belgian bachelor's holders |

The Louvain School of Management MiM does weigh a test score (admitted students fall in the 550+ for non-Belgian bachelor's holders range) — but if a test-free route matters, 64 of 103 MiMs we track (about 62%) admit without a required GMAT or GRE. 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.
