What IELTS score do you need for Esade?

Native English speakers and applicants whose bachelor's degree was taught in English (at least three academic years or 120 ECTS) do not need a test, as long as they send a university certificate such as a diploma supplement stating the language of instruction. The MBA page also accepts a master's of 60 ECTS taught entirely in English. Neither page limits this to particular countries.

Esade only accepts official TOEFL scores sent by ETS (institution code 0507), and Cambridge and IELTS certificates must be originals or certified copies. The MSc page says the TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition and the IELTS Indicator online test are accepted. IELTS One Skill Retake is not mentioned.

The CEMS Master in International Management is stricter: secondary education is not accepted as English proof, and a bachelor's counts only if it was issued in an English-speaking country, by a CEMS institution or by an AACSB or EQUIS-accredited institution.

All MSc applicants must also take the Esade Admission Test (included in the application fee), GMAT or GRE. Esade says its average GMAT score tends to be around 615 on the current edition. No Spanish is required for the MSc.

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