Open Day with Faculty Masterclass | Europe Campus


Curious how a world‑class business education could support your next career step while fitting around your professional life?

This Open Day at the Europe Campus is the easiest, lowest‑pressure way to find out. Just a real taste of what the INSEAD experience feels like.

Join us for an afternoon designed specifically for individuals who are still exploring the idea of an INSEAD Programme. You’ll have the chance to discover how our faculty think, connect with current students, and experience the atmosphere that has shaped generations of global leaders.

🎓 What to Expect - Agenda Please click here to view the full agenda.

  • Faculty Masterclass by Prof. George Ward
  • Synopsis: The Psychology of Power - In this session, we explore the psychology of powerfulness and powerlessness. We will learn about how powerfulness and powerlessness impact cognition, emotion and behaviour. What is it like to feel powerful or powerless? How does having power or not having power affect the way you think, feel and behave? How can you use this knowledge for offence and defence?
  • Student & Alumni Panel
  • Hear candid stories from MBA & EMBA participants who once stood exactly where you are now. Learn about their doubts, motivations, challenges, and how the programme transformed their professional and personal journeys.
  • Campus Visit & Networking
  • Explore the campus, meet the recruitment and admissions team, and connect with other prospective candidates in a warm and informal setting.

🚐 Free Shuttle from Paris – Easy Access

We make it simple to join us: a complimentary shuttle from Gare de Lyon will take you directly to the Europe campus.
