GMAT and GRE tests for application
The GMAT and GRE tests are computer-adaptive assessments designed to evaluate your quantitative, analytical and written English skills, preparing you for admission into a graduate programme. For some applicants to master’s or pre-master's programmes at the School of Business and Economics, the GMAT or GRE test is a requirement for admission.
GMAT or GRE?
At the School of Business and Economics, we accept three tests. You may decide which of these tests you take.
- the GMAT Exam
- the GMAT Exam (old version): this exam will be administered until 31 January 2024. Your test score will remain valid for a period of two years, and we will accept this score until it reaches its expiration date.
- the GRE test
Check the admission requirements under the programme of your choice to see whether you need to complete a GMAT or GRE test for application.
Tip: Plan to take your exam well before the application deadline. It may take some time before we receive the official results.
