GRE and GMAT Score required

There is no specific or average GRE/GMAT test score required for M.Sc programmes – instead they will review your test score relative to other applicants for the programme, and also in the context of all test scores submitted worldwide in the current year.

Therefore they simply recommend that you aim to achieve the highest possible score in order to strengthen your application.

Please also note that GRE/GMAT test scores are just one part of your application, and when making a decision on your application they will consider all parts of your application as a whole (including university grades, personal statement, references, etc.).

The LSE institution code for the GRE is 0972; no department code is required as the scores are processed centrally.

The LSE institution code for the GMAT is HMT 86-56.
