What makes INSEAD’s Master programmes stand out is the people you learn from. The school brings together professors from all over the world who combine strong research with practical experience. They work in areas ranging from economics and strategy to leadership, finance, sustainability and technology — so whatever direction you’re interested in, you’ll learn from someone who really knows the field.
A recent moment of pride for the school highlights this strength. Professor Philippe Aghion, INSEAD’s Kurt Björklund Chaired Professor in Innovation and Growth, was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his work on innovation and long-term economic growth.
Having faculty who are shaping global conversations, and bringing those insights into the classroom, adds real depth to the learning experience.
Across all Master programmes, the teaching style is designed to keep you involved. INSEAD is known for its use of business cases, many of which are written by faculty and used at top universities around the world. Cases place you in realistic business situations and push you to analyse, debate and make decisions. It’s a lively, discussion-driven way to learn that helps you see challenges from different perspectives.
Classes are interactive rather than lecture-heavy. Professors share what they’re researching, what they observe in companies, and what trends they see emerging globally. Students come from a wide range of backgrounds, which adds even more richness to discussions.
On top of case work, you’ll also dive into hands-on projects, simulations and group assignments.
These moments give you the chance to test ideas, work with classmates from all over the world and develop practical skills that grow naturally over the programme.
So instead of memorising theories, you learn by doing, discussing, questioning and applying, alongside faculty who are shaping the future of business.
