The INSEAD MBA programme
The aim of the INSEAD MBA programme is to develop business leaders with cross-cultural insights and creative problem-solving skills - leaders who will redefine the future of business and who will have an impact on their organisations and their wider community, leaders who have the courage, in challenging times, to lead both ethically and responsibly.
The INSEAD MBA is a combination of innovative ideas and teaching methodologies with a relevance to business focused on individual needs, delivered in a unique learning environment in just one accelerated year. The 10-month programme covers 80% of the course hours of a traditional two-year MBA programme by focusing on study five days a week and avoiding "down-time".
The programme has an international perspective through our 'one school, two campus' structure and exchange opportunity with Wharton and Kellogg, giving you the chance to study on three continents. It is also one of the most diverse MBAs you will find anywhere in the world, with more than 80 nationalities represented amongst our participants. When you have completed your INSEAD MBA, you will truly be prepared for a career in the global marketplace.
Although the rewards of the INSEAD MBA are immense, to succeed requires a serious commitment and an open mind. Our students say that the intensity of the programme significantly enriches their MBA experience, both from an academic and extracurricular perspective. The pace, likened to that of a dynamic international organisation, will help you develop critical skills such as prioritisation and time management. During this life-changing year, you will also build life-long relationships and invaluable team-building skills.
The INSEAD MBA is more than a programme, it's a life-changing experience.
