Frequently asked questions
Do I need the GMAT for Nova SBE?
A GMAT or GRE is recommended but not strictly mandatory — Nova reviews applications holistically. Admitted students typically score in the 620–710 GMAT range, with an average around 650. Applicants with a strong undergraduate record from a well-known university can apply without a test score, though submitting one strengthens the file.
Can I take CEMS at Nova SBE?
Yes. Nova SBE is a CEMS academic member, and IMM students can opt into the CEMS Master in International Management track. CEMS adds an exchange semester at one of the alliance's 30+ partner schools, a business project with a corporate client, and joint certification. CEMS candidates apply through Round 1.
