Robin Hood Campaign: Raising funds for future MBA candidates

“Business as a Force for Good” is one of INSEAD’s values, and we believe in paying it forward by raising funds for future high profile MBA candidates lacking the funds to join us. Join the team who will come up with creative fundraising ideas in close collaboration with our Advancement colleagues. Will your class beat the record?

Get an MBA With Your Partners and Families

Around 30 per cent of students bring partners to INSEAD, which makes for a large, vibrant community. We try to make sure that everyone benefits from the INSEAD experience in every possible way through the availability of on-campus support, activities and the INSEAD Partners' community. A year as a partner at INSEAD is also a great opportunity to experience new cultures and learn new languages. ​

Student Clubs and Activities

INSEAD Student clubs are run by students and supported by the school. They play a vital role in the student experience.

Our clubs cover a broad range of topics from Professional, Social to Sports. A large proportion of the student population is honing their leadership skills by being the management team of clubs. There are 40+ clubs at INSEAD. 

Campus activities or online events are organised by MBA student clubs, helping them to sharpen their leadership skills and enabling them to explore and pursue new interests or old passions.

Professional clubs 

A wide range of student-run professional clubs work closely with INSEAD Student Life department and the INSEAD Career Development Centre. They organise regular networking and speaker events on campus, as well as webinars, competitions or "career treks" further afield. Some of the larger clubs also organise prominent annual forums and conferences, like the Private Equity Conference, the Women in Business Conference or the Global Luxury Forum. 

Non-Professional clubs

In addition to our gyms offering regular fitness classes on both campuses (and the squash court in France), we have many clubs offering a wide variety of sports and leisure activities to network and enable you to pick up valuable new skills. There are also opportunities to represent INSEAD at inter-business-school events, such as the MBA Regatta and the MBA Golf Challenge.

Joining the MBA Network of Alumni

INSEAD has an extensive network of alumni across the globe, having over 70,000 alumni representatives from more than 170 nationalities from 180 countries. As an INSEAD MBA student, you will be able to connect with them and be part of the community for a lifetime after you graduate.
