Montpellier Business School MiM Fees 2026

Master in Management (Grande École Programme) · Montpellier, France

Verified against official sources · last checked September 2026 · see sources

Tuition for Montpellier Business School's Grande École Programme (Master in Management) was published per programme year for 2026–27: about €15,000 for Year 1 and €16,500 for each of Years 2 and 3, with no separate EU / non-EU rate quoted. Those figures were re-verified at source on 7 September 2026 — not on the programme or admissions pages, which have carried no tuition figure since at least 6 September, but on MBS's own financing page, which still publishes all three years together with the work-study wording below. (The brochure route stays closed: MBS's programme brochure is not a downloadable PDF but a lead-capture form, and neither the programme page nor the school's brochure index contains a single .pdf link.) MBS still publishes the €90 application fee and the €1,000–€2,000 admission scholarships. A bachelor's-holder who joins the master cycle directly (entering Year 2 with 180 ECTS) therefore pays in the region of €33,000 for the two-year master the Financial Times ranks; the full three-year Grande École track for earlier (Bac+2) entrants comes to about €48,000. Work-study (apprenticeship) years are fully funded by the host company, the year abroad adds no extra tuition, and MBS offers a scholarship of up to €2,000 on the fees depending on the admission result. That places MBS in the mid-range of the French grande école market — well below the marquee Parisian schools (HEC, ESSEC, ESCP) — and Montpellier's living costs sit far below Paris. Fees are guaranteed for the duration of the programme but revised each cycle, so confirm the figure for your exact entry point on the school's own page.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the MBS Master in Management cost?
For 2026–27, MBS prices its Grande École Programme by year: about €15,000 for Year 1 and €16,500 for each of Years 2 and 3, with no separate EU / non-EU rate quoted. A bachelor's-holder entering the master cycle directly (Year 2) pays in the region of €33,000 for the two-year master the Financial Times ranks; the full three-year track for Bac+2 entrants is about €48,000. Work-study years are fully funded by the host company, the year abroad adds no extra tuition, and a scholarship of up to €2,000 is available on the fees. That is mid-range for a French grande école — well below the Parisian schools — and Montpellier's living costs are far below Paris. Confirm your exact figure on MBS's own page.
Is Montpellier Business School accredited and well ranked?
Yes. MBS holds the 'triple crown' of international accreditations — AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA — which only a small minority of business schools worldwide carry, and it is a member of France's Conférence des Grandes Écoles. Its Master in Management has been ranked by the Financial Times Masters in Management continuously since 2012 (the school cites an 11th-in-France position in the FT 2024) and 13th in France in Le Figaro's 2025 table. We do not quote a precise FT world rank because the current-cycle world figure is not primary-verified on the school's own pages — so MBS is honestly kept off our rank-sorted shortlists, but it is a credible, internationally accredited grande école.
When is the MBS Master in Management application deadline?
MBS runs one September intake but sets its cut-offs by region and visa status. For the 2026 intake it published rounds closing on 19 May 2026 for India and Africa, 20 June 2026 for other visa-requiring candidates, and 18 August 2026 for non-visa (EU/EEA and visa-exempt) candidates — the earlier regional dates reflect visa-processing time, so non-EU applicants should treat the early date as the real one. All three 2026 windows have now closed. As re-checked on 29 August 2026 MBS has not published its 2027 dates, but its admissions page states that international admissions open on 1 November — so expect the 2027 cycle to open around 1 November 2026. Seats and the scholarship fund fill as the cycle runs, so apply early.

  • 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 .pdf reference returns ZERO on each, so npm run pdf:text has 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
