The GMAT is not required to be admitted to Luiss's Master's Degree in Management. It matters only for the optional direct-admission route, which can waive the Luiss admission test for applicants with a strong GMAT, GMAT Focus or GRE score; on the standard route a qualifying GMAT simply adds bonus points. No class-average GMAT is published.
No GMAT — but Luiss runs its own admission test. A strong GMAT, GMAT Focus or GRE can waive it through the optional direct-admission route; on the standard route a qualifying score simply adds bonus points

| MiMs we track admitting without a required GMAT/GRE | 75 of 118 |
A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the Luiss University 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.

- Luiss — Admission to Master's Degree Programmes for Extra-EU Students. DEADLINES RE-CHECKED 2026-09-07: the hedge is confirmed, and the page is staler than it looks. Its heading advertises "Luiss Master's Degree Admissions 2026/2027", but the body and the downloadable call are both for a.a. 2025-26 — "The selection procedure for admission will take place from November 2024 to 26 February 2025", enrolment finalised "no later than 13 November 2025", tuition quoted "For the 2025/2026 academic year", and the Call for Applications link resolves to /sites/default/files/2024-11/Bando di concorso a.a. 25-26 - Extra-EU students eng.pdf. Nothing on the page addresses the September 2027 (a.a. 2027/28) intake, and the €30 application fee is the one current-looking figure. ↗ — Luiss Guido Carli

- Luiss — Tuition Fee a.y. 2026/2027, Master's Degree in Management (PDF, 1 page, sha256:4a33506846717030). First year total "€ 17.000,00 and regional tax*" in three instalments; second year "€ 15.300,00 and regional tax*". The asterisk resolves to: "The amount of the regional student tax will be established by Lazio Region in June/July 2026."

- Luiss — Tuition Fee a.y. 2025/2026, Master's Degree Course in Management (PDF, 1 page, sha256:9a537b4526dc1660). Read alongside the 2026/27 sheet to establish that the fee is COHORT-FIXED rather than falling in year two: first year 2025/26 is "€ 15.300,00", which is the same figure the 2026/27 sheet charges its second years, and second year 2025/26 is "€ 15.000,00". So €17,000 × 2 is the right two-year total for a 2026/27 entrant ↗ — Luiss Guido Carli
