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 (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.

Check the admission requirements under the programme of your choice to see whether you need to complete a GMAT or GRE test for application.
