Frequently asked questions
When are the Master in Management deadlines for 2027 entry?
HEC Paris closes its four direct-admission rounds on 7 October 2026, 26 November 2026, 17 February 2027 and 28 April 2027, at noon Paris time; candidates applying through Join a School in France follow a separate calendar, closing 2 October 2026, 7 January 2027, 26 February 2027 and 19 April 2027 at 6pm, with a 250 EUR fee instead of 180 EUR. ESCP closes its four direct-admission rounds on 22 October 2026, 14 January 2027, 11 March 2027 and 4 May 2027. London Business School runs a staged calendar for its 2027 intake. Applying in the first two rounds leaves time for scholarships (sources: HEC Paris, ESCP, London Business School, consulted 21 September 2026). HEC Paris publishes a Financial Times 2026 position of 5th worldwide for its Master in Management, with 99% of graduates employed three months after graduation and an average salary of 118,500 EUR three years out (hec.edu, consulted 21 September 2026); our review of the QS Business Masters Rankings 2027 sets out what a ranking position means for an application.
Is the GMAT compulsory for a Master in Management?
At London Business School yes: a GMAT or GRE score is required. HEC Paris asks candidates to upload a GMAT, GMAT Focus, GRE or TAGE MAGE score. ESCP accepts GMAT, GRE, CAT or TAGE-MAGE, valid 5 years, and also asks for an English test, valid 2 years (sources: LBS, HEC Paris, ESCP, consulted 21 September 2026).
How much does a Master in Management cost?
Budget 58,970 EUR in total at HEC Paris for the 2027-2029 intake, plus a 5,000 EUR confirmation deposit and a 2,500 EUR surcharge for international students, from which EEA and Erasmus+ associated country students are exempt; 52,950 GBP plus a 200 GBP Student Association fee at London Business School for the 2026 intake; and 25,100 EUR (European) or 28,800 EUR (non-European) at ESCP for September 2027 entry, service fees included (sources: HEC Paris and ESCP, consulted 24 September 2026; LBS, consulted 21 September 2026).
What English level do MiM programmes require?
HEC Paris requires proof of English proficiency (TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS or Cambridge) unless the candidate is a native speaker or completed a degree taught in English. London Business School applies the same exemption logic. We prepare IELTS and TOEFL in 10, 20 or 30-hour packs, so a candidate can reach the score 3 to 4 months before the first round.
How does Your Dream School coach a MiM application?
The coaching starts with a 2-hour positioning assessment, then a selection of up to 12 programmes, the writing of essays and the statement of purpose, guidance for two recommendation letters, and mock interviews such as the 30-minute online interview used by HEC Paris. Since 2018, 32 students have been admitted to ESCP and 8 to HEC Paris at master level (see our master results).
