Great question! Whether the GMAT is required for an MBA in Switzerland depends on the specific university and program you are applying to.

General Overview:
- Many top Swiss business schools and universities (such as IMD, University of St. Gallen, and HEC Lausanne) do require the GMAT for their MBA programs, especially for highly competitive or internationally recognized courses.
- However, some universities may consider alternative qualifications or relevant work experience in lieu of the GMAT, particularly for executive MBA programs or if you have a strong academic/professional background.

Typical Requirements:
- IMD Business School (Lausanne): GMAT or GRE is required. Average GMAT score for admitted candidates is around 680.
- University of St. Gallen (HSG): GMAT is usually required for their full-time MBA.
- HEC Lausanne: GMAT or GRE is recommended, but not always mandatory—depends on your profile.
- Other Swiss institutions: Some private institutions or less competitive programs may waive the GMAT if you have significant work experience or strong academic records.

English Proficiency:
In addition to the GMAT, you will generally need to prove English proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL) unless your prior education was in English.
