The Master in Management (MiM) is the most popular programme among MBA Center’s GMAT students, and we have guided candidates into MiMs at London Business School, HEC Paris, INSEAD, IE, ESSEC, ESCP, Bocconi and Imperial. We help you choose the right schools, prepare for the GMAT, GRE or school tests, write strong essays and get ready for interviews.
A Master in Management is a pre-experience business degree for recent graduates with little or no full-time work experience. It teaches the core of management (strategy, finance, marketing and operations) and leads to careers in consulting, finance and general management. Most leading MiMs are in Europe, and many take one to two years.

“Admission consulting is not just about editing and discussing MIMs. It is also about counselling the student through their fears.” — Edouard, London Business School MiM
“Admission consulting is not just about editing and discussing MIMs. It is also about counselling the student through their fears.”
In one recent year, more than 1,200 of our GMAT students were preparing for a MiM, most often in the UK, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
With little work experience to judge, MiM committees read the rest of your profile closely. We help you strengthen each part:
Most top MiMs accept the GMAT or GRE. Some schools also accept their own or national tests, such as IE’s ieGAT or the TAGE MAGE used by many French business schools, and international programmes require an English test. We prepare you for all of them. GMAT preparation → · GRE preparation → · TOEFL → · IELTS →

A MiM is a pre-experience business master’s for recent graduates with little or no full-time work experience. It covers the core of management and leads to careers in consulting, finance and general management. Many of the best-known MiMs are in Europe.
Usually not. MiMs are designed for recent graduates, so committees look at your academic record, internships, activities and motivation rather than years of full-time work.
Most top MiMs accept the GMAT or GRE, and some also accept their own tests (such as IE’s ieGAT) or the TAGE MAGE for French schools.
Our candidates have been admitted to MiMs at London Business School, HEC Paris, INSEAD, IE, ESSEC, ESCP, Bocconi and Imperial. The right school for you depends on your goals, budget, languages and where you want to work.
Choose a MiM if you are a recent graduate starting your career; choose an MBA once you have several years of experience and want to accelerate or change your career. Some candidates do a MiM first and an MBA later.
