INSEAD has announced the launch of a new Master in Management program, with the first intake happening this year.
From the GyanOne blog: For all those who dream of going to INSEAD, there is good news for you. Now you can apply to INSEAD even before you turn 23! INSEAD has launched a new Master in Management (MiM) program that is set to become the darling of the MiM world in due course, if the prestige of the school and its top MBA program are anything to go by. The Master in Management space is getting hot, ladies and gentlemen, with multiple top schools launches new programs in it. In recent times, Kellogg has launched its MS in Management Studies (though it later restricted admissions only to Northwestern University graduates), Michigan Ross launched the Master of Management program, and Cornell launched the Master of Professional Studies Program. Increasingly, top schools began to realize that the demand for top business education among recent college graduates is high. With INSEAD now adding to the list, one can be sure that this trend is only going to continue. So, what is great about this program, and why should you bother about it?
Why the INSEAD MiM has been launched
The MiM program in itself has mostly been a European phenomenon. European business schools first began offering it, and the Financial Times ranking of MiM programs duly lists multiple European schools such as LBS, HEC, St. Gallen, ESSEC, ESCP, and ESADE as top places offering the format. In a way, INSEAD has been a late entrant in this list. Its MBA program is regularly ranked first in Europe, but while other top schools such as LBS and HEC had launched their MiM programs long back, INSEAD has chosen to do so only in 2019. Why? Over time, INSEAD realized that while it had multiple options for more experienced professionals (such as the MBA, Executive MBA, and Executive Master’s programs, with the PhD at the end of the spectrum), it had nothing for early career graduates. Enter, the INSEAD MiM. With this launch, INSEAD, ‘the business school for the world’, has a more comprehensive suite of offerings at the Master’s level. That’s great, but what’s great about this new program?
What is new and different about the INSEAD MiM?
While most top schools do offer the MiM, the length and structure of the program can vary considerably between schools. For example, the HEC MiM is a 2-year program (and thus, officially longer in duration than the HEC MBA itself!), while the LBS MiM is a 10-month one. The newest kid on the block, the INSEAD MiM, is 10 months long too. So, is 10 months enough?
We think so. INSEAD has packed quite a lot into the structure of this little guy, with skill workshops, international field trips, and experiential learning practicals as well. Let’s get into it.
