INSEAD (/ˈɪnsiæd/ IN-see-ad; French: Institut européen d'administration des affaires, lit. 'European Institute of Business Administration')[5] is a non-profit business school with locations in France (Fontainebleau), Singapore, the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) and the United States (San Francisco).
As a graduate-only business school, INSEAD offers a full-time Master of Business Administration, an Executive MBA (EMBA), an Executive Master in Finance, a Master in Management, an Executive Master in Change,[6] a PhD in management, a Business Foundations post-graduate certificate and a variety of Executive education programmes delivered at campuses in France, Singapore and Abu Dhabi.[7]
INSEAD was founded in 1957 by venture capitalist Georges Doriot, and his former students Claude Janssen, and Olivier Giscard d'Estaing. Original seed money was provided by the Paris Chamber of Commerce.[8][9]
INSEAD's founding campus (the Europe Campus) is located in Fontainebleau, near Paris, France. The second campus (the Asia Campus) is in the one-north district of Singapore next to one-north MRT station and the third campus (the Middle East Campus) is located in Abu Dhabi. INSEAD expanded its presence to North America in 2020 with the opening of the INSEAD San Francisco Hub for Business Innovation.[6]
INSEAD is a grande école, a French institution of higher education that is separate from, but parallel and connected to the main framework of the French public university system. Similar to most universities in the world, grandes écoles are academic institutions that admit students through a competitive process.[10][11][12]
Launched in May 2019, the INSEAD Master in Management (MIM) is a 14- to 16-month full-time programme for young graduates starting their careers in management. The average age of students on the INSEAD MIM is 23.[13]
