Two Degrees. Two Prestigious Schools. Two Alumni Networks
The Tsinghua – INSEAD Executive MBA (TIEMBA) is a unique partnership between INSEAD, one of the world's leading business school, and Tsinghua, one of China’s most prestigious universities. The programme takes place across INSEAD’s three campuses in Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Fontainebleau (France), and Tsinghua’s campus in Beijing.
As a participant, you will exchange perspectives within an elite, dynamic, culturally diverse class of experienced managers and be part of two powerful alumni networks. The TIEMBA is where life-changing leadership development meets technical mastery of key business disciplines. And both make an immediate impact in your organisation. It is the best of East and West, learning and working, technical knowledge and soft skills — in a single programme.
Message from the Deans
Ilian Mihov
Dean of INSEAD
How do you become a global business expert – but with an in-depth understanding of the Chinese context? Ten years ago, we launched the TIEMBA to address this challenge. Since then, the career successes of 400 alumni and our #3 ranking by the Financial Times have proved that our ‘best of both worlds’ model really is a passport to global business leadership.

BAI Chong-en
Dean of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management
By delivering the TIEMBA in China, Singapore, Abu Dhabi and France, we are able to offer unparalleled multicultural insights into some of the most dynamic business regions of the world. The programme also stands at the intersection of two of the world’s most powerful alumni networks. We are proud of this seamless East-West partnership. But we are even prouder of the advantages it offers our participants.

Limitless: Hear from Lynette Tan
I found that many of the women in my Tsinghua-INSEAD Executive MBA (TIEMBA) class had experience in leadership. We have experience in going after our visions and dreams, but felt that our knowledge perhaps was a little patchy and could benefit from a structured way of understanding the business world. That’s why I joined the programme, and many of the women I met during the TIEMBA enrolled for similar reasons.
