Challenge Your Perspectives.
Empower Your Future.
The INSEAD one-year MBA Programme is about academic rigour, amazing diversity, excellent career opportunities and an outstanding alumni network. Part of my role involves meeting with our alumni from all over the world, and the one thing they always say about their MBA experience is: “it was the best year of our lives!”
With three fully-integrated campuses in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and over 90 different nationalities in the classroom, no other business school offers such a multicultural experience. So if you are searching for a place where there is no dominant culture, where you can be your true self, and where you are among friends: look no further, we are all of these and more at INSEAD!
The accelerated full-time MBA programme curriculum develops successful, thoughtful leaders and entrepreneurs who create value for their organisations and their communities, and we are looking for smart, well-rounded candidates who believe that business can be a force for good.
I look forward to receiving your application!

What are the differences between the September and January intakes?
The curriculum, course structure, class size and composition, and campus exchange opportunities are identical for the September and January intakes. The primary difference is that if you choose to begin in September, you will complete the MBA in ten consecutive months. If you choose to begin in January you will have a two-month summer break during which you can pursue an internship or other endeavours.
What is a typical day of an INSEAD student?
There is no typical day as the schedule will change every day throughout the year. During the first two periods when students take their core courses, they often have 2 to 3 classes a day of 90 minutes each, Monday to Friday, starting at the earliest at 8.30am and finishing at the latest by 7.00pm. Students also have assignments and group projects, career counselling sessions and extra-curriculum activities. For the last three periods, each student has their own academic schedule depending on the electives he or she has chosen, with the same amount of assignments and group work, and typically increasing time spent on career related activities.
INSEAD accept transfer credits from other schools?
No, we do not accept transfer credits from other schools.
Can I tailor my INSEAD MBA?
INSEAD offers more than 75 electives across both campuses, giving you the chance to construct a tailor-made MBA programme that fits your personal and career goals. We do not have specialisations or majors. You are free to pursue a generalist path towards management or specialise in a particular area such as finance or entrepreneurship. However, regardless of the path you decide to take during your elective period, everybody graduates with the same general MBA degree diploma
