Admissions

Experience and Potential

We look for people with both management experience and leadership potential. Members of our current class have an average of 14 years of work experience (with a minimum of eight years post-graduate work experience), including at least five years of managing teams and/or projects. Just as important, they have the desire and potential to excel as senior business leaders.

Academic Ability

The TIEMBA is intensive, rigorous and challenging. So we insist on a solid academic foundation – usually demonstrated by a bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a recognised college or university, and the GMAT, EA, INSEAD Assessment or the Tsinghua Test.

If you are preparing for the GMAT, try our online practice test.

International Outlook

Our participants are expected to share cross-cultural experiences that others can learn from. That is why we look for people who have lived, worked or studied abroad – or who work for international companies with clients, suppliers or other stakeholders overseas.

Asia focus 

The programme is designed for people with a strong interest or experience in Asian business. It is best suited to people living and working in the region (or planning to) – or whose work has a particular focus on Asia.
