The WU CEMS MiM requires a GMAT score — there is no GRE alternative and no test waiver. The minimum is 600 on the classic GMAT or 565 on the GMAT Focus Edition. WU does not publish a class average, but self-reported admits on forums have clustered around 630–640. The CEMS language requirements add further context: applicants must demonstrate English at C1/C2 level and at least two additional languages (one at B2 and one at A1), making this one of the more demanding admissions profiles among European MiMs.
WU Vienna University of Economics and Business does not publish a GMAT range.
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.
