Our MBA programme requires a high level of engagement from participants. It is the vast experience that a diverse group of MBA participants brings to the classroom, under the leadership of a professor, that makes our MBA programme unique. The sharing of experiences and exchange of views happens not only in the classroom but also during group work.
As an MBA participant you will join a group designed to maximise diversity along many dimensions: age, experience, previous education, nationality and professional background. Professors will use these groups for class assignments and discussions, and your group will become a central focus point for your work on the majority of courses.
The goal of professors at INSEAD is to bring out the best in each of you so that you can learn from each other's experiences. Their objective is to put all these experiences together and provide a framework that you take with you when you leave the class. Professors are actively involved in research and challenge the classroom discussion with new ideas.
There is no single preferred teaching method at INSEAD. Faculty are free to choose the method they believe fits best with the content of the session.
You will, therefore, experience a wide variety of teaching styles, including case-studies, computer simulations and role-plays. What matters to INSEAD is not the method chosen but the result: the effectiveness of your learning experience.
