How to check your programme

EDHEC runs MSc, bachelor and MBA programmes alongside the Master in Management, and each can set its own English rules. Read the admissions section of the programme you want before you book.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your EDHEC programme page and in your offer, so check it there before you book a test.

Minimum vs competitive score

Where EDHEC Business School publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.

Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.

If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
