INSEAD Global Executive MBA

THREE CAMPUSES

This Maters-level degree programme takes place on a part-time, modular basis on the INSEAD Asia Campus in Singapore, the Europe Campus in Fontainebleau, France and the Middle East Campus in Abu Dhabi. Your time on these campuses depends on the section you join: The Asia Section (largely weekends), The Europe Section (mainly 1-2 week modules) or the Middle East Section (more but shorter modules). Whichever you choose, you get to sample all three of our campuses. With only 45-60 days needed away from work over a period of 14-17 months, depending on your choice of base campus, the GEMBA is probably the most efficient way to a top business degree.

ADMISSIONS CRITERIA

- Leadership potential and professional experience: participants in our current class have an average of 12 years of work experience, with the range being between seven to 18 and at least three years management of teams and/or projects.

- Academic Capacity: a bachelor's degree or equivalent from a recognised college or university (although in exceptional circumstances, we amy waive this requirement for otherwise outstanding candidates with substantial professional experience). While many of our applicants have advanced degrees, this is not compulsory as we take into consideration professional experience, supported by the GMAT or the INSEAD EMBA Admissions Test (from February 2012).

For the GMAT, we advise candidates to aim for a score at or above the 70-75th percentile for both quantitative and verbal sections of the GMAT.
