Two degrees. Two prestigious schools. Two alumni networks.
Programme Overview
The Tsinghua – INSEAD Executive MBA (TIEMBA) programme is a unique partnership between INSEAD, one of the world's leading business schools, and Tsinghua, one of China’s most prestigious universities. The executive master degree programme takes place across INSEAD’s three campuses in Singapore, Abu Dhabi (UAE), and Fontainebleau (France), and Tsinghua’s university campus in Beijing (China).
The 22-month programme, consisting of 12 core courses, 4 elective courses, Key Management Challenges courses, and a thesis, is designed for senior executives who want to learn the practical knowledge and soft skills required to excel in both East and West. 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.
