Unlike French public universities, INSEAD does not have the low public university registration-fee model. Its programs have different fee structures and the fee to be paid depends on the program selected. The tuition fee for the MBA programme is €109,860. The tuition fee for the Master in Management is €57,870 and includes the teaching fees, all academic materials, library access, IT services and access to the fitness centre in Europe and Asia campuses. Global Executive MBA Tuition Fee: €142,150 Funding for the PhD programme is different from the master’s programmes. Tuition fees are waived for the first five years and support for admitted PhD candidates may include stipend, research and conference budget, and health insurance coverage according to programme rules. The PhD application fee is 80 euros.

INSEAD’s education model is very international and career oriented. The MBA is a one-year intensive programme designed for professionals and entrepreneurs who want to fast-track their career or change functions, industries or geographies. The MIM is for early career graduates who wish to develop a global management foundation. The Global Executive MBA and Executive Masters are designed for senior leaders and experienced professionals. The PhD is designed for students who want to pursue academic research and careers in business school faculty.

The school’s biggest asset is the world structure. Students and executives can learn through campuses, international cohorts, diverse faculty, practical leadership work, business simulations, case studies, electives, career services and alumni interaction. INSEAD alumni typically pursue careers in consulting, strategy, general management, finance, private equity, venture capital, technology, entrepreneurship, corporate leadership, family business, sustainability, marketing, operations, executive leadership, academic research, and business education.
