Admission to Master's Degree Programmes for EU Students

Admission can be gained through the evaluation of academic qualifications or directly based on GMAT or GRE certification.

The outcome of the application will be determined in one of the following ways depending on the documentation submitted by students:

1. In the case of submission of a GMAT or GRE certificate with the required minimum scores, admission will be direct subject to verifying the validity of the certification and checking the prerequisite bachelor’s degree.
2. In the absence of GMAT or GRE certificates with the required minimum scores, the relevant commission will decide on admission/non-admission on the basis of an assessment of academic performance.

You will be admitted directly if you hold:

• a GRE certificate with the following scores: Verbal: 145 - Quantitative: 145, or
• a GMAT certificate:
  GMAT “Focus” Edition (current GMAT version) with a score of 515 out of 805, or
  GMAT 10th Edition with a score of 550 out of 800.

For the degree programmes in Corporate Finance or Management, students may apply for direct admission if they hold:

• a GRE certificate with the following scores: Verbal: 150 - Quantitative: 150, or
• a GMAT certificate:
  GMAT “Focus” Edition (current GMAT version) with a score of 555 out of 805, or
  GMAT 10th Edition with a score of 600 out of 800.

Please note that certificates will be considered valid for admission purposes only after receipt of the original from the certification body by the deadline set for the session in which the application for admission is submitted.

Please note that in the event of admission on the basis of GMAT or GRE scores, academic performance will not be taken into account for admission purposes.

In this case, admission/non-admission will be determined by a ranking, compiled in order of scores as set out below.

• The student's academic performance based on:
• For students who have not yet obtained their degree: weighted average at the end of the penultimate year of their degree programme, as specified in the official Transcript of Records issued by the university of origin.
• For students who have already graduated: final weighted average as indicated on the official Transcript of Records issued by the university of origin.

The weighted average should preferably be converted to a 4.0 scale (US grading system). If the weighted average in the official documentation is not already converted, Luiss will perform the conversion. The GPA on a 4.0 scale will be stated in 70ths.

• The level of English language knowledge demonstrated through certification. The minimum score required is B2. However, higher scores can grant bonus points:

Level of knowledge of the English language – Points

• B2: +0
• C1: +15
• C2: +30

Possible bonus for GMAT/GRE certifications with the following scores to obtain a bonus of +10 points:

• A GRE certificate with scores: Verbal: 135–139 and Quantitative: 135–139, or
• A GMAT certificate:
  • GMAT “Focus” Edition (current GMAT version): score between 445 and 475 out of 805
  • GMAT 10th Edition: score between 450 and 499 out of 800

Possible bonus for GMAT/GRE certifications with the following scores to obtain a bonus of +20 points:

• A GRE certificate with scores: Verbal: 140–144 and Quantitative: 140–144, or
• A GMAT certificate:
  • GMAT “Focus” Edition (current GMAT version): score between 485 and 505 out of 805
  • GMAT 10th Edition: score between 500 and 549 out of 800

When drawing up the rankings, the relevant commission, at its sole discretion and taking into account enrolment trends and candidate performance, will set a minimum threshold score for admission differentiated for each degree programme/major.

Please note that the offer of admission will be valid only for the 2025/2026 academic year and only for the programme chosen at the time of application.

Admission does not entail the awarding of scholarships. Admitted candidates may compete for the awarding of scholarships in accordance with the criteria and timetable you will find on this webpage.
