List Of Foreign Universities That Do Not Require The Gre

Some foreign universities may not require the GRE.


Unlike the majority of graduate degree programs in the United States, a considerable amount of foreign universities don't require the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Instead, schools focus on the quality of your undergraduate degree, grade point average, statement of purpose and references. Before you take the plunge and apply to graduate programs overseas, do your homework (some departments within a university may require GRE scores, for example).


University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands


The University of Amsterdam offers graduate degree programs in English for international students. Your undergraduate degree must be in a related field to your proposed graduate program. Individual departments may ask for other supporting materials requirements, such as a portfolio. The university offers master's, advanced master's (for working professionals who already have a master's degree), and PhD programs.
