7. May I apply without GMAT/GRE?
No, GMAT/GRE are required for all the applicants.

8. Must I take the TOEFL?
Yes, with the exception of candidates whose secondary school or university studies were conducted entirely in English, or who have worked for at least two years in an English-speaking country.

MRM takes two years and PhD between two and three.
