Across the three program categories, MiM, MSBA, and MFin, the 2026 intake deadlines highlight a mix of single-round, early-cycle programs and multi-round, extended timelines. 

European schools often start earlier in the cycle (September–October), while several U.S. programs cluster in January for Round 1.
