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.
