    As part of the application process, we encourage potential Master in Applied Economics participants to provide a GRE or GMAT score. This is essential in guiding our admissions decision.

    A strong standing in the GRE or GMAT tests is particularly ideal for candidates coming from a background in social sciences, or other bachelor’s or master’s degrees that lack a comprehensive mathematical or quantitative training focus.


    Candidates can also provide an ieGAT score, which we also consider as part of the application. However, we strongly encourage candidates to submit a GMAT or GRE test score.
