The MBA Experience: Lessons in Diversity
What is the MBA culture like at INSEAD? Some would say “diverse”. But what does diversity really mean? Certainly, it’s more than just gathering people of different identities, nationalities, and work backgrounds. In this video, four students explain what diversity means to them. They also relate their multicultural encounters with their peers and the lessons they learned from collaborating with people from all walks of life.
The MBA Experience: Transforming Careers
Students come to the INSEAD MBA programme looking to transform their careers. But the transformation they experience is not always what they imagined. The curriculum, as well as their exposure to different people and activities, opens career possibilities they haven't previously considered. In this video, three MBA students talk about what they learned about themselves and their career goals.
The MBA Experience: The INSEAD Advantage
Rankings, class diversity, curriculum, teaching quality and career development. These are just some of the things young professionals look for in a world-class MBA. And these are the very same things our students have found in our programme. In this video, five MBA students talk about why they picked INSEAD to advance their careers and change their lives.
