MBA Exchange
The INSEAD-Wharton MBA exchange is a unique large-scale exchange of MBA students between two world class MBA programs. The opportunity for INSEAD and Wharton MBA participants to spend one period of study at the other school has been a key feature of the Alliance. The Alliance provides a unique learning experience and students benefit from the alliance by:
- Participating in a top MBA program on a different continent (learning about different cultural and business practices via academic curriculum, student group work, guest speakers)
- Getting full access to the Career Management Services of the partner school for the duration of stay (job board, career counsellors, industry guides, alumni database, mock interviews)
- Enriching their personal network through a vibrant social life and a rapid system of integration (buddy system, participation in student clubs)

Faculty Exchange
The INSEAD-Wharton Center for Global Research and Education encourages the exchange of faculty across the two schools.
The Faculty Exchange includes a variety of both long term and short term opportunities for faculty to spend time on the campus of the other school. The objective is to enhance knowledge-building capacity and to promote and facilitate joint research and teaching efforts. The Alliance finances travel expenses and living costs for the faculty member on the exchange.
Short term visits (STV) of up to four weeks encourage exploratory visits to the other school in order to establish research contacts with a view to enhancing research productivity. In addition to these visits, faculty members are invited to present their research during seminars and colloquia at the other school. Over 90 faculty members have visited the partner school to teach or carry out research
Alumni Collaboration
The INSEAD-Wharton Alliance endeavours to reinforce relationships established through the Alliance and to incite new collaboration by hosting large alumni events every year. The Alliance is continually looking for opportunities and creative ways to assemble alumni in order to encourage and inspire networks. For information about recent and upcoming events please contact us.

The INSEAD Asia Campus
INSEAD Asia Campus is situated at the corner of the Ayer Rajah Avenue and North Buona Vista Road in the Knowledge Hub district of Singapore. The school’s convenient location is 15 minutes from the financial district and 30 minutes from Changi Airport.
In 1999, INSEAD took a bold step to differentiate itself from other business schools: it opened a campus in Asia and became the first business school to have two full-fledged campuses with permanent faculty - one in Europe, the other in Asia. In 2005, the second phase of campus development began and INSEAD expanded its presence in Asia. In 2015, INSEAD opened the doors to the S$55 million Leadership Development Centre, a six-story, 10,000 square metre building that addresses the accelerating demand for management and leadership education in Asia. The Centre allows INSEAD to build its world-class faculty to 70 in Singapore and significantly increases the number of students, executives, top scholars and practitioners on the Asia Campus. The Residences (hotel) offer 126 rooms for short stays and is mainly reserved for our programme participants as well as visiting staff and faculty."
