Meet the Class - TIEMBA'24

Our Tsinghua-INSEAD Executive MBA (TIEMBA) Class of 2024 began their journey September 2022 on the INSEAD campus in Singapore. We caught up with a few of them to find out what motivated them to embark on the TIEMBA programme, their impressions so far about their faculty and classmates, and some advice they would share with prospective candidates.

Come with an open mind and high expectations, be prepared to invest your time and energy to learn in and outside of campus, and most importantly spend time and get to know your cohort - you will learn a lot from each other.

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

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.
