Frequently asked questions
Does the University of Groningen MSc Business Administration require a GMAT or GRE?
No. The MSc Business Administration does not require a GMAT or GRE. Admission is based on a relevant academic bachelor's (in business administration, economics, international business, econometrics or a closely related field) and your grades, with a pre-master's route of 30–45 ECTS for applicants from adjacent backgrounds.

Is the University of Groningen MSc Business Administration ranked?
The University of Groningen does not appear in the Financial Times Masters in Management ranking, nor in the QS Business Masters in Management table — so there is no FT-weighted salary or QS Management position to cite for this specific programme. The University is, however, a long-established research university that places well in general subject rankings (such as QS Business & Management Studies), and its Faculty of Economics and Business holds the AACSB and EQUIS accreditations. Because it is not in the FT table, applicants comparing on FT standing should weigh that against its accreditation, low EU fee and test-free admission.
