Tuition for Montpellier Business School's Grande École Programme (Master in Management) is 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. 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.

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 We do not quote a precise FT world rank because the current-cycle world figure is not primary-verified on the school's own pages — so MBS is honestly kept off our rank-sorted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. Seats and the scholarship fund fill as the cycle runs, so apply early. Confirm the current cycle's exact dates on MBS's own admissions page.
