As proof of your analytical writing and quantitative reasoning abilities, you must submit a satisfactory Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score with an overall:

• GMAT score of 600 points or higher: you will be considered for direct admission, provided you meet all previous requirements.
• GMAT score of 500 points or higher: the final decision will be taken by the Board of Admissions, taking into consideration the research orientation of your previous university as well as the content of your undergraduate programme.

Please be aware that GMAT scores are only valid for five years. Find more information about GMAT requirements.

GRE score

The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is a standardized test that aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing and critical thinking skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study. Find more information about GRE requirements.

The Admissions Office will convert your GRE score to the equivalent GMAT score to assess whether you will be considered for direct admission or if the final decision will be taken by the Board of Admissions. The scores below are only estimations of the equivalent GMAT scores. No rights can be derived from them.

• GMAT 500: GRE Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning section – above the 25th percentile;
• GMAT 600: GRE Verbal Reasoning – above the 53th percentile; and Quantitative Reasoning section – above the 51th percentile.

When should you submit your GMAT or GRE result?

When you apply online, you should upload your GMAT or GRE score as part of your application package.

Please keep in mind that the Faculty of Economics and Business Admissions Office will only evaluate applications for these programmes after receipt of the GMAT or GRE test results.
