The GMAT is recommended but not mandatory for the TBS Master in Management. Applicants to the English track are advised to hold a GMAT of at least 500, a GRE of 303, or a CAT of 67, alongside an English score such as IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 94; the French track instead recommends the TAGE MAGE (≥230). No class average is published, so treat the recommended minima as a guide rather than a bar.
Recommended, not mandatory: TBS advises a GMAT of at least 500, a GRE of 303 or a CAT of 67 on the English track, and the TAGE MAGE at 230 or above on the French track

A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the TBS Education 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.

Three URLs were tried with a browser user-agent and all returned HTTP 403: this page, /program/master-in-management/, and the French estate at tbs-education.fr. This is the genuine-WAF family (the same refusal recorded for tbs-education.com in #813 and reaffirmed in #822, as distinct from EDHEC's 403, which turned out to be a user-agent check that a browser-UA probe cleared). Everything on this profile's timing therefore rests on the 2026-06-14 read and says so. Reading TBS now needs a human or a different network path. ↗ — TBS Education
