Despite its hefty tuition fee of Euro 51,000 excluding expenses, this elite MBA from France's top business school is attracting more top quality students from Singapore and other countries. One reason could be INSEAD MBA graduates are found in the top ranks of big international corporations and one gets to network with students from over 70 nationalities and build lifelong connections.

According to INSEAD, the INSEAD MBA curriculum is designed to quickly and thoroughly prepare students for a career in international business. This aim is reflected in the compressed timeframe, reliance on group work and clear focus on international markets and settings. The first few study periods are based on a structured curriculum covering 13 core courses which include key management disciplines such as macroeconomics and international political analysis to give MBA students a strong foundation in their management careers. The second half is customisable and MBA students can choose 11 electives from a portfolio of more than 80 electives - meaning each MBA student can choose a mix that will support his or her individual educational and professional goals. Through the INSEAD MBA program which is conducted in Singapore and Fountainbleau ( France ), graduates will develop invaluable communications and leadership skills which are critical to success in life. In Singapore, INSEAD competes with the University of Chicago and the joint National University of Singapore/ University of California, Los Angeles program for EMBA students.
