The TIEMBA is an intensive programme, provides relevant course work, knowledgeable professors, and a very diverse student background; I am learning a lot and finding it very beneficial.

The life paths of the participants intersect in the course and as a result, each individual gains insights into other cultures and ways of working.

My advice would be, if you are interested in pursuing an INSEAD Masters programme, do it for yourself.

The experience has enlightened me to learn about the Chinese culture, and in particular taught me more about doing business in China.

The TIEMBA has given me a high-level view of business management, the smartest classmates, and networks from both Tsinghua and INSEAD.
Solving Why's? - Why Emba, Why TIEMBA, and Why Now?
To begin with, almost every MBA student has a story to tell. However, unlike many MBA aspirants, I decided to go for an MBA 16 years ago, on the evening of April 23, 2005, when my grandfather surprisingly ask me, “What would you like to do in life?". I replied, "An MBA". However, I did not realise then that it would take me another 16 years to finally go on my MBA journey. So why did it take me 16 years and why now? The short answer will be - no time and resources, but it really boils down to right timing.
TIEMBA Journey: Matthias Soreau
From the early stage of my career I always leaned toward nurturing a strong expertise. I believe dedication will always pay off in one way or another. The idea of applying for an MBA was in my long term agenda with no rush. Across the years, my trading role naturally evolved into a mid-ranked managing position.
A Year of Reinvention
It has been one year since the opening ceremony of the TIEMBA Class of 2022. Since then, six modules out of 10 have been completed. Currently, my cohort is planning how we will use our thesis projects to individually demonstrate all that we have taken away from the programme thus far.
The sixth module this past July gave us the opportunity to learn non-technical skills that are not related to a specific business field.
In The First Row
I have always been grateful for the high-quality education that my professors provided to me throughout my childhood and early adult life, despite the limited resources and difficult conditions they faced in Brazil.
Frankly, I wouldn’t be the person that I am today without their teachings.
Until recently, I thought that gratitude was all that I could offer to them for helping me build my future and showing me that education is one of the most efficient ways to reduce inequality.
TIEMBA: A Reflection on the Past and the Road That Lies Ahead
The Rolling Stones released the song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” in 1969, during a period of social upheaval and disappointment in the ability to effect meaningful change. The song verses wander through melancholic vignettes while each refrain of the chorus increasingly uplifts Mick Jagger’s gut punch of proud contentment in spite of it all and acceptance of a less than ideal outcome.
