If you're looking to pursue an MIM vs MBA in UK at an averagely good university in the UK, here’s a breakdown of the exams you’ll need to take and the score ranges to aim for:

1. GMAT/GRE (For MBA, Sometimes MIM)

• GMAT: Many UK business schools require GMAT for MBA, though some may waive it based on work experience.
• Target Score: 600-700 (For mid-tier universities, 650+ for top-ranked ones)
• GRE: Some schools accept GRE instead of GMAT.
• Target Score: 310-320+

💡 Many UK universities, especially outside top-tier ones, do not strictly require GMAT/GRE, but having a good score can strengthen your application.

2. IELTS/TOEFL (English Proficiency Test)

• If you’re from a non-English speaking country, you’ll need to prove your English proficiency.
• IELTS: 6.5–7.0 (with no band below 6.0)
• TOEFL: 90–100 (minimum section scores may apply)

💡 Some universities may waive this if you studied in English at the undergraduate level.

3. Work Experience (For MBA Applicants)

• Most MBA programs require 2–5 years of work experience.
• MIM programs usually don’t require work experience, as they are designed for fresh graduates.

Recommended Universities (Mid-Tier & Good Reputation)

• MBA: University of Strathclyde, Nottingham, Aston, Kent, Brunel, Oxford Brookes
• MIM: Durham, Queen Mary, Nottingham Trent, Royal Holloway
