The GMAT or GRE are a requirement for most business school programmes, including the INSEAD Master in Management (MIM) and MBA. It is also among the assessment options for the INSEAD Executive MBA and Executive Master in Finance.
Like many other adaptive tests, the GMAT and GRE require rigorous preparation in the weeks leading up to the exam date. With the right approach and proper planning, however, acing them is well within reach.
The INSEAD Master in Management (MIM) is a 14 to 16-month programme with an innovative learning approach and applied problem-solving orientation. It aims to empower the next generation of well-rounded, agile-thinking and innovative individuals who are ready to make a positive impact in today's society.
Alumni from the programme will be ideally placed to launch a global career, with 99% receiving a job offer within three months of graduation.

Here is the story of two INSEAD MBA alumni whose graduate classes are nearly a decade apart, and who were brought together through an acquaintance at an INSEAD event. They are now working together building one of the largest sustainable fishing farms in Africa and making strides in a centuries old industry.

“Maybe you can look at the ROI of the INSEAD MBA and really look at it quantitatively, but I think the qualitative nature of it is hard to capture.”
