Program by program

One school, one program, its requirements.

An editorial selection of leading schools and universities in their fields across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania. From Stanford to Cape Town, FGV to ISB, KAUST, and Melbourne, it features programs in management, finance, economics, computer science, artificial intelligence, and law. Rankings from the Financial Times, QS, and CSRankings provide international and regional reference points; they do not form a single ranking of this selection. Each program links to its official source for GRE requirements.

Order and reference rankings

In each view, programs are grouped by category, then sorted by ascending world rank in the named ranking. Ties are broken alphabetically. Programs without a documented rank appear at the end of their category, by school and then program.

The rangs of different categories are not comparable. For strategy, economics, l’informatique and the droit, QS ranks the university within the subject, not the degree. The references below follow the category order; they were accessed on October 5, 2026.

One card per program, so a school may appear more than once. An accepted test is not always required; notes identify documented alternatives and waivers. Admissions pages reviewed on October 5, 2026.

Dots mark the reference cities for programs in the selected view. A dot may represent several schools. A multi-campus program is counted once.
