Transportation

Getting around in Singapore is easy and economical. Singapore has an efficient public transportation network offering taxis, buses and the modern Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) rail system.

          MRT

           INSEAD is on the MRT network ("One North" MRT station on Circle line 8) and with the station exit within
           metres of our entrance, it could not be more convenient. 
           From Changi Airport, take the East-West line and transit to the Circle line at 'Buona Vista' station. The trip
           takes a little over an hour.

           Taxi

           The transfer by taxi from the airport to INSEAD will take about 30-45 minutes and will
           cost around SGD30.00 (around USD23.00).

The Salamander awards
 

The INSEAD Alumni Fund (IAF), originally founded by Alumni more than 40 years ago, serves as a vital source of financial support for the School. We extend a warm thank you to all of you who have
generously participated in the anniversary reunion appeals this year, your generosity enables INSEAD to preserve its place among the world’s best business schools. For more information about
the IAF or should you wish to make a donation, please visit the IAF booth in the lobby.

INSEAD is delighted to recognise donors whose cumulative giving has reached specific levels:

Originally the insignia of the French king Francois I and later that of the town of Fontainebleau, this mythical creature representing the virtue of perseverance, was adopted as the symbol of the INSEAD Alumni Association. Since 1987, the Salamander awards have been representing INSEAD’s lasting gratitude to its donors. Salamander level donors are celebrated at alumni reunions and at INSEAD events around the world.
