WHU requires a test score for the Master in Management — accepted tests are the GMAT (minimum 555), GRE (minimum 158Q/158V), and the GTEBS/TM-WISO (minimum 102). Applicants may submit an application without a score, but any offer issued will be conditional until a qualifying result is received, so the test is effectively required before enrolment. WHU does not publish a class average.
