OVERVIEW OF THE CEMS MIM REQUIRED GMAT SCORES FROM THE 34 PARTNER UNIVERSITIES
Apr 25, 2023CEMS is a global alliance of 34 leading business schools around the world that together offer the CEMS Master's in International Management (CEMS MIM). It varies per university/business school whether a gmat score requirement applies, and it can be difficult and time consuming to find out on their website. Therefore, we have tried to provide an overviewing list as complete as possible of the 34 colleges/schools. Here you can immediately see if a college/school expects a gmat score. If we cannot find anything on the website of the particular university/business school about a required GMAT score, we assume that no GMAT score is required. It is important to note that if a CEMS business school/university requires a GMAT to gain admission to the master's program, you must submit a GMAT score of at least 600 to be admitted to the CEMS Master in Management program. If you want to learn more about the CEMS MIM in general, we recommend you to read our information blog about the master's program. We also recommend you to read our corresponding more comprehensive in-depth blogs if you would like to know more about CEMS at a particular university/business school requiring a GMAT-score.
