UPF Barcelona School of Management does not list a GMAT requirement for its Master of Science in Management. The programme is aimed at recent graduates and junior professionals from business, economics, engineering, mathematics, physics and related fields, with admission by application and profile review. Re-read 13 September 2026, the page's "Admission and enrolment" section states no language-level requirement — no test, no threshold, no category of applicant named — even though UPF-BSM's own new-students page says that section is where each programme's language level is described. This intro previously asserted that non-native English speakers must document proficiency; that was unsourced and has been removed. Ask admissions what English evidence they want, and confirm the academic thresholds on the school's own page before applying.

A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the UPF Barcelona School of Management 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.

- UPF Barcelona School of Management — Master of Science in Management. Tuition €18,500 for the full programme; primary-verified unchanged 2026-07-05 and again 2026-09-13, where the fact strip reads 'Price €18,500'. ENGLISH EVIDENCE CHECKED 2026-09-13 (P33b) and it CORRECTED this profile. NEGATIVE RECORDED, read two ways on the same day — a static fetch of the served HTML and a second pass through a different renderer: the page's 'Admission and enrolment' section carries accreditation, ranking and curriculum copy and states NO language-level requirement of any kind. No TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo or CEFR figure appears anywhere on the page, and the words 'native', 'exempt' and 'waiver' do not appear at all. This profile had asserted since June 2026 that 'non-native English speakers must document English proficiency'; neither of its two sources carried that, so the claim was removed rather than re-sourced. CYCLE ROLLED between reads: the fact strip now says 'Next edition Classes start : 20 September, 2027', where this profile quoted 21 September 2026; also read 'Language English', 'Modality On-campus', 'Duration 10 months', 'ECTS credits 60' ↗ — UPF Barcelona School of Management
