  2. How to Keep Calm at INSEAD

    The journey at INSEAD is quite busy and you may find it difficult to keep calm sometimes. Between the assignments, the lectures, the classes, networking and the social events, how could INSEAD students find the time to chill out? INSEAD has the solution for you! INSEAD implemented a meditation center on campus.

  3. The Not-so-Secret Sauce for Success

    Time at INSEAD travels on its own continuum – moving with immense slowness through a Friday 5pm class yet flashing through a P1 break. As we celebrated the last of our period one exams four days ago, I was filled with overwhelming emotions that my INSEAD journey is one fifth over and one period closer to saying goodbye to classmates at graduation.

  4. With the Finish Line in Sight

    Reflecting on my INSEAD experience so far on my last day in Kampala, Uganda, brings a fresh perspective on what was and what could have been. A lot has happened in the past seven months, and as the recruitment drive moves into full swing for the majority of my class it’s only fair to look back on the academic journey and share some thoughts for prospective students. Nostalgia is at the door but it isn’t time to open it yet!

  5. P1: Lessons Learned

    I'm Alex, an American MBA student here at INSEAD's Singapore campus. It's been a wild ride since starting at INSEAD, especially considering that only three months ago I was working at my nonprofit job. Since I'm learning this whole profit thing from scratch, I thought it would be helpful to look at the big picture of what I've learned in each period. Here are some takeaways from P1 (along with a few clippings from my notes): The measurable power of diversity.

  6. INSEAD Life is INTENSE

    Before I started my MBA journey many people were telling me that INSEAD life is intense and that I will have no other options, but learn to prioritise and say “no” to certain events, travels and parties, because it is just too much to combine with academics, career research and sleep.

  7. Memories From My First Period at INSEAD

    I am now sitting on the plane from Munich back to Singapore after my extended long weekend between period one and two. Thanks to the invitation of Microsoft Munich to an assessment center, I could pay a short visit back to Germany after two months' stay in Singapore. The time has passed by amazingly fast since I started my MBA journey at INSEAD because the MBA programme at INSEAD is so intense and enjoyable. Actually, If I can only choose two words to symbolise my experience in the past eight weeks, I would say intense & fun.

  8. A Dynamic INSEAD

    As my INSEAD journey continues, I have recognised that I really like how dynamic the classes are. At school, we learn from a variety of activities - not only the lectures or methodology, but how to apply them in teams and in business.The faculty encourages us to do reflections after class, which is an efficient way to remember the courses and to improve oneself. In this video, you will see examples of our Strategy and Organisational Behaviour courses. Enjoy :)

  9. Success is Mutual

    I’m an incoming 19D based in Fontainebleau. I previously worked at Deloitte, and before that, I spent several years in Africa building maternity wards for unwed teenagers with my bare hands. In my spare time I’m an astronaut, and I scored 820 on my GMAT. Bono funded my blockchain startup. I open doors for people who open doors. I defecate rainbows.

  10. Like Rain in the Desert

    A good Egyptian friend once told me, if you want to learn how to build cities from scratch, go to the UAE. Having spent the last two months in the Abu Dhabi campus, I couldn’t agree more. Geographically, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) might be as far as possible from Peru and I had previously never set foot in the MENA region (Middle East and Northern Africa). The possibility of spending a period there (January and February) seemed like the right opportunity to explore. Cultural Understanding
