With campuses on two continents, INSEAD is widely recognized as the world's leading business school. Its students, representing more than 70 nationalities, find a unique environment that provides them with the international flexibility required for success in today's business world.
INSEAD has been preparing outstanding individuals for business leadership for over 40 years and was the first business school to introduce a one-year MBA program and to open a campus in Asia. The INSEAD MBA is recognized worldwide and is the leading source of recruitment for companies, as well as the largest provider of executive education in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
The INSEAD MBA program lasts one year and requires 14 core courses and a minimum of 10 electives. All courses are taught from a fully international perspective. The curriculum is flexible enough to allow participants to tailor the MBA to their career goals.
There are two times of the year to start an MBA, known as "promotions" in Fontainebleau and Singapore: from January to December and from August to July.
Both cohorts are organized into eight-week periods, each ending with an exam and a short break. The cohorts are academically identical, but the one starting in January includes a seven-week summer vacation.
In November 2003, INSEAD will launch its Executive MBA program, which lasts 14 months, two of which are spent on campus.
This program has three main objectives: to develop the entrepreneurial competence of its participants, to provide them with a global attitude, and to strengthen their leadership skills.
INSEAD MBA participants come from all over the world, and each year the school enrolls two classes of approximately 300 students each in Fontainebleau and 100 in Singapore. Selection is based on a combination of academic achievements, entrepreneurial potential, personal characteristics, and international awareness.
INSEAD's vision for a new business education is to create a global learning and knowledge network that its participants can join. Furthermore, the on-campus course is just the first step in a lifelong relationship.
Technology is a key element in education and, therefore, the school is working to create a community for learning and sharing experiences online.
The Singapore campus and its recent alliance with Wharton are vital to carrying out these projects, since being global means having a local presence throughout the world.
Globalization, technology, and economic growth present INSEAD as a unique opportunity to create a model network of leading business schools.
