MBS runs a single September intake but sets its application cut-offs by region and visa status, so the practical deadline depends on where you apply from. For the 2026 intake the school published rounds closing on 19 May 2026 for candidates from India and Africa, 20 June 2026 for other visa-requiring candidates, and 18 August 2026 for non-visa (EU/EEA and visa-exempt) candidates. Visa-processing time is the reason the earlier regions close first — so non-EU applicants should treat the early date as the real one. Re-checked on 29 August 2026: all three 2026 windows have now closed, and MBS has not yet published its 2027 dates. Its admissions page does state that international admissions open on 1 November, so a 2027 applicant should expect the cycle to open around 1 November 2026 rather than wait for a deadline announcement. Each round also carries a separate last-day-for-tests date a week or so after the application cut-off (26 May, 2 July and 25 August in 2026), so the entrance test has to be booked before the deadline, not after it. Seats and the up-to-€2,000 scholarship fund fill as the cycle progresses, making an early application the safer move. Confirm the current cycle's exact dates on MBS's own admissions page, and map them against the other schools on our deadline tracker.
Montpellier Business School runs 3 application rounds . Earlier rounds generally carry higher acceptance odds and earlier scholarship visibility.
| Round | Deadline |
|---|---|
| India & Africa | 19 May 2026 |
| Other visa-required regions | 20 June 2026 |
| Non-visa (EU/EEA & visa-exempt) | 18 August 2026 |
Dates are confirmed against the school's official admissions page.
What we checked, and when. September 2026 intake — region/visa rounds, all three now closed (19 May, 20 June, 18 August 2026). Re-checked 29 August 2026: MBS has not published its 2027 dates, but its admissions page states international admissions open on 1 November, so expect the 2027 cycle to open around 1 November 2026.

- MBS School of Business — The MBS Grande Ecole Programme (Master in Management). FEE BASIS CHECKED 2026-09-06 (P36) — NOT RE-VERIFIED, and this is a recorded negative rather than a confirmation. Both this page and the admissions page were fetched on 2026-09-06 and NEITHER publishes a tuition figure any more: the programme page carries the structure ('two- or three-year programme', ~1,500 hours over 2 to 3 years), the admissions page carries only the €90 application fee and the €1,000-€2,000 admission scholarships. The €15,000 / €16,500 per-year figures on this profile therefore stand on the 24 June 2026 read and could not be re-checked; the profile now says so rather than implying they are current. The entry-point question P36 asks is unanswerable from what MBS currently publishes. — BROCHURE ROUTE TRIED AND CLOSED 2026-09-07 (E7a-mbs-brochure-fee-route). The brochure is not a downloadable file: the 'DOWNLOAD OUR BROCHURE' control is an Elementor popup (
a[href="#brochures-pge-en"]opening popup id 17590) containing a lead-capture form, and the school's own brochure index at /international/brochures/ is a page of the same anchor-popups. Grepping both documents for a.pdfreference returns ZERO on each, sonpm run pdf:texthas no URL to point at — this is the FORM-GATED family already recorded for Católica's programme brochure, not a 403, a 404 or a missing text layer. Every fetchable route to an MBS tuition figure is now spent; what remains is the form or MBS admissions, both human asks. The €15,000 / €16,500 stay on the 24 June 2026 read and keep saying so. — SUPERSEDED IN PART 2026-09-07 (P44): the figures were re-verified after all, on a fourth page neither of the two earlier reads tried. MBS's financing page (source 3) still publishes Year 1 €15,000 and Years 2-3 €16,500 alongside the work-study wording, so the profile no longer says the figures could not be re-checked. The method note stands: two of MBS's pages dropped the figure while a third kept it, so an absence on the obvious page is not an absence from the school ↗ — Montpellier Business School - MBS — Admissions for the MBS Grande Ecole Programme (international entry levels, English thresholds, application steps; 2026 rounds 19 May / 20 June / 18 August with tests by 26 May / 2 July / 25 August, all now closed; no 2027 dates published, international admissions stated to open 1 November; re-verified 2026-08-29) ↗ — Montpellier Business School
