Some top MBA programs in the UK accept low GMAT scores or even waive them for select candidates. These schools focus more on your overall profile—work experience, academics, SOPs, and interviews—than just the test score.

Here are a few UK MBA programs known for leniency with GMAT:

  • University of Edinburgh – GMAT not mandatory; strong profile can get you in.
  • University of Birmingham – GMAT is optional for most applicants.
  • Lancaster University accepts GMAT scores below 600, especially if you have 3+ years of work experience.
  • Durham University – Minimum GMAT not strictly enforced; they also consider GRE or internal assessments.
  • Cranfield School of Management – GMAT waivers are available for applicants with extensive managerial experience.
