Further Your Potential. Redefine the Leader in You.
With an extensive curriculum across corporate finance, accounting, international politics, marketing, and operations, INSEAD’s Executive MBA programme is tailored to develop senior corporate executives with more than 8 years of experience who are leading or aspiring to lead on a C-suite level.
The programme runs over a span of 14 to 17 months and takes place on our INSEAD campus in Asia (Singapore), Middle East (Abu Dhabi) and Europe (France).
Each class has an unparalleled diversity of nationalities and business backgrounds, enabling participants to learn from each other and build a close-knit yet globally distributed network. Another unique feature is the Leadership Development Programme (LDP) which includes a programme-long schedule of group coaching, 360-degree assessments and team activities, designed to develop a leadership style that is authentic to you, thus accelerating your career progress even further.

The INSEAD GEMBA Advantage
Highly Ranked and Globally Recognised

Learning Through Diversity
Unlike other schools, INSEAD doesn’t have a dominant national culture. This enables us to turn diversity into a powerful learning tool.
Global, Intense & Efficient
With only 51 to 60 days needed away from work over a period of 14 to 17 months, depending on your choice of starting campus, the GEMBA is one of the most efficient routes to a top business degree.

Wincel Kaufmann
INSEAD is not just a business school, it is the place where strong and good leaders with integrity and self-awareness are developed. A good leader is what you can expect to become at the end of the EMBA programme.

Ambition Has No Gender

How Education Empowers You to Stay Relevant as a Leader
Physicist Albert Einstein once said that “in the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity”. For organisational leaders who roll up their sleeves and continue to find ways to demonstrate success in the face of challenge, this is especially true.
Networking is Key for Career Fulfilment
Networking has always been an indispensable part of building a successful career. Despite some of the challenges that COVID-19 has thrust upon the world as we know it, it still remains just as important as ever.
