SGH does not require the GMAT or GRE for its Master's in International Business. Admission is by an online application and document review rather than a standardised aptitude test: you need a completed bachelor's degree (the programme welcomes economics, management, law, engineering and related backgrounds) and proof of advanced English — typically FCE/CAE/CPE, TOEFL iBT of at least 72, or IELTS of at least 5.5 — waived if your previous studies were taught in English. There is no published GMAT range because no GMAT is used. One point is worth knowing before you read SGH's own pages, because they can look as though they contradict that: SGH does operate an entrance test — a sprawdzian kwalifikacyjny z wiedzy o gospodarce, a qualifying test in knowledge of the economy — and its admissions hub labels it, in Polish, a test "wyłącznie dla kandydatów na studia stacjonarne w języku polskim" (only for candidates to full-time studies taught in Polish). The published schedule for full-time second-cycle studies in English carries no examination step at all: registration in the ISR system, an editing deadline, acceptance of the offer letter, then submission of original documents. So the test exists at the school and does not reach this programme. If you are also targeting GMAT-driven schools, a strong score still won't hurt a CEMS application, but for SGH's own master it is not part of the file. See our guide to studying a MiM in Europe without the GMAT for the wider picture.

A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the SGH Warsaw School of Economics 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.

SELECTION CHECKED 2026-09-11 (P24e): the published schedule for "Main admission for full-time second-cycle studies in English" has NO examination step — ISR registration 9 June to 23 July 2026, editing deadline 4 August, offer-letter acceptance by 18 August, original documents 21–25 September, with a supplementary round registering 27 August to 12 September. That is what confirms the no-test tier for this programme ↗ — SGH Warsaw School of Economics
- SGH — Admission to graduate studies in English for international applicants. SELECTION CHECKED 2026-09-11 (P24e), and it is the page that makes the no-test tier a SCOPED claim rather than a flat one. The hub lists "Sprawdzian kwalifikacyjny z wiedzy o gospodarce" — a qualifying test in knowledge of the economy — immediately above the description "Test wyłącznie dla kandydatów na studia stacjonarne w języku polskim" (a test only for candidates to full-time studies taught in Polish). The English-language half of the same page routes to ADMISSIONS STEP-BY-STEP, legalisation and eligibility, required documents, English proficiency and the admissions schedule, and its schedule line reads "Deadlines for submitting documents, entrance exam, announcing admission results" — wording that reads as though an exam applies here, which is why the scope is recorded rather than left implicit.
