FAQs

Why should my company sponsor me?

The INSEAD GEMBA programmes should be regarded as a win-win proposal for sponsoring companies.
The company invests in developing your skills and rewarding your ambitions. While broadening your managerial skills, you continue to contribute to the company, and your job performance is strengthened by the programme's applicable content and enriched by interactions with INSEAD faculty and sharing best practices with an international group of peers.

How much does the INSEAD GEMBA programme cost compared to the full-time MBA programme?

Comparing costs is not always as easy as it appears. While the GEMBA programme may appear to be more expensive than the full-time MBA programme at INSEAD, it's important to take the following into account:

The cost of the GEMBA programmes covers tuition and fees, all required instructional materials, books and computing charges and selected meals. (It does not include transport, accommodation and dinners.) There is no real opportunity cost since you can complete the GEMBA programme without leaving your job — unlike the full-time programme.
