Q.What is the minimum GMAT/GRE score required for scholarship consideration?

While the MBA program requires a 'strong score' on an admission test, for specific 'Test Score Excellence Awards,' you would need a GMAT total score of 690 or higher, a GMAT Focus total score of 645 or higher, or a GRE verbal score of 160+ and quantitative score of 165+ (or equivalent BAT/EA scores) to qualify for this particular award.

No German language skills are explicitly required for admission to the Full-time MBA program, as it is taught in English. However, non-native German-speaking applicants may be considered for additional awards based on their German language ability if they submit official test results (telc, TestDaF, or Goethe language tests).
