Welcome to our Events Page!

We host monthly online Masterclasses to give prospective students an in-depth understanding of the INSEAD-Sorbonne Business Foundations Certificate (BFC) programme.

Our most recent Masterclass, held on 16 January 2025, was led by Professor Hilke Plassmann, Programme Director and Marketing Professor. The session explored how the BFC helps PhD and master’s students, as well as young professionals, transition from research to a business career.

Our next Masterclass will be led by Professor James Costantini, Strategy Professor and Programme Director.

Discover the BFC programme and explore your career potential—we look forward to meeting you online soon!
