Round 2 Deadlines for Europe’s Top MBA Programs
Round 2 (R2) is the most competitive and popular stage for international MBA applicants. Top European schools like HEC Paris, INSEAD, London Business School, Oxford Saïd, and Cambridge Judge are still open for applications — but deadlines are approaching fast.
An MBA in Europe offers high ROI: graduates report an average salary of €90,000–€120,000 within 3 months of graduation, with leading recruiters such as McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Goldman Sachs, and Amazon.
With 1-year formats at many schools, lower tuition compared to the US, and strong visa/post-study work options, Europe remains one of the best destinations for Indian students.
