Monash Business School runs Monash University's MBA and specialist master's programmes from its Melbourne campus. GMAT is accepted but, as with most Australian MBA programmes, is one input among several rather than a hard cutoff.
Does Monash Require the GMAT?
| Programme | GMAT Requirement |

Monash MBA — GMAT Benchmarks
| Metric | Score |
|---|---|
| Median GMAT (admitted class, where submitted) | ~600 – 630 |
| Competitive GMAT | 650+ |
| Waiver | Common for applicants with significant management experience |
Monash's MBA cohort, like most Australian programmes, weighs professional experience heavily alongside academic and test credentials.
GRE as an Alternative
Monash Business School programmes that accept GMAT generally also accept the GRE as an equivalent measure — useful if you're applying to both Monash and US business schools.
GMAT Is Separate From English Proficiency
A GMAT score does not satisfy Monash's English language requirement. International applicants still need IELTS or TOEFL:
| Requirement | Monash Policy |
|---|---|
| GMAT | Recommended for MBA, not always mandatory |
| IELTS | Required — see our Monash IELTS Requirements guide |
| TOEFL | Required — see our Monash TOEFL Requirements guide |
