Frequently asked questions
When did INSEAD launch its Master in Management?
The INSEAD MIM admitted its first cohort in 2020, making it the newest of the top-five European MiM programs. The program is designed to sit beneath INSEAD's flagship one-year MBA — same faculty, same recruiter relationships, but pitched at pre-experience candidates. The MIM alumni base is still small but expanding by roughly 200 graduates per year.
What is the INSEAD MIM tuition, and which intake does it cover?
Tuition is €57,870 for the full program. INSEAD labels that figure precisely — it is the fee for the Class of MIM 2028, the class entering in August 2027 — and publishes it as three instalments — €8,500 within two weeks of admission, €30,000 on 8 June 2027 (15 July 2027 for Round 4 admits), and €19,370 on 15 January 2028. It sits just below HEC Paris, which prices the same entry year at €58,900, and meaningfully below London Business School. The fee covers all four campus modules and the experiential travel components. INSEAD's own estimate of living expenses for the programme is €22,000 — €6,300 accommodation in Fontainebleau, €3,000 food, €1,000 airfare, €250 local transport and €2,500 miscellaneous — though total cost of attendance across the 14–16 months is commonly budgeted higher once Singapore is included.
What GMAT score does INSEAD expect for the MIM?
INSEAD does not publish a minimum, but admitted MIM candidates typically score in the 640–730 range with an average around 700. GMAT, GMAT Focus, GRE, and the INSEAD Admission Test are all accepted. Applicants without a strong quantitative background are encouraged to demonstrate quant capability through their test score and undergraduate transcript.
How international is the INSEAD MIM cohort?
INSEAD's MIM is one of the most international MiM cohorts in the world. Recent classes have been roughly 95% international, drawn from around 45 nationalities, with no single nationality dominating the class. Female representation sits at 36%, lower than at HEC or LBS — a number INSEAD has publicly committed to improving.
