It depends on the program and university.
For most MBA (Master of Business Administration) courses in the UK, a GMAT score is typically required, especially at top business schools. However, many Master’s in Management (MiM) programs do not require GMAT scores.
Some universities may also waive the GMAT requirement based on your academic background or work experience.
