Tilburg University's MSc International Management has two intakes — a September start and a February start — so the application timeline runs twice a year. Non-EU/EEA applicants who need a visa face earlier deadlines than EU/EEA applicants, so apply well ahead. Confirm the current application windows and the exact deadline for your applicant category on the school's own admissions page.
Exact dates for the upcoming intake are confirmed against the school's official admissions page as they are published.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need a GMAT for Tilburg's MSc International Management?
Yes — a GMAT or GRE is the programme's one compulsory qualitative admission requirement. Tilburg accepts the GMAT (with a stated minimum on the GMAT Focus scale) or an equivalent GRE, with results less than two years old; the test need not be completed before you apply. Applicants who must evidence English need IELTS Academic 6.5 (minimum 6.0 in writing and speaking) or TOEFL iBT 90; who is exempt from that is decided by where your previous degree was obtained and what language it was taught in, not by whether English is your first language, and Tilburg's own exemption page could not be read (it returns HTTP 403 to every fetch route tried on 6 September 2026), so confirm it in the application.

- Tilburg University — MSc International Management, admission and application. ENGLISH EVIDENCE ATTEMPTED 2026-09-06 (P33c, Dutch leg) and RECORDED AS A NEGATIVE. The whole tilburguniversity.edu estate returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch AND to a browser-UA curl, which reproduces the standing entry in the 2026-09-03 blocked-source index; #783's browser-UA refinement, which rescued four UK schools in the P33b leg, does not rescue this one. So Tilburg's exemption rule — whether it keys on nationality, country of degree or language of instruction — is unread, and this profile asserts none. What is corrected here without a fetch is our own wording: the IELTS 6.5 / TOEFL iBT 90 figures stood on a June 2026 reading of the school's own application page and are unchanged, but this profile framed them as applying to 'non-native English speakers', and that is not a rule any Dutch school we HAVE read applies. Every one of them decides on the country or the teaching language of the previous degree, and several of them exempt native speakers of other languages while requiring a test from native English speakers educated elsewhere (Twente states exactly that).
