Trivia Tuesday: INSEAD’s Campus Exchange
It’s time again for our regular Trivia Tuesday column examining the policies, programs, and opportunities available at the leading business schools. Today we’ll take a look at INSEAD’s campus exchange opportunity, as profiled in the Clear Admit School Guide to INSEAD.
“The school’s unique “one school – two campuses” structure provides the opportunity for students to gain management training in both the Eastern and Western hemispheres. INSEAD emphasizes that despite its two locales, it functions as a single institution with a core set of values, policies and academic standards that unify the Singapore and Fontainebleau campuses. A single dean oversees both schools and the MBA curriculum is completely integrated across them such that students in both locations learn in tandem. While faculty members are based either in Fontainebleau or Singapore, many of them teach on both campuses in an academic year, or switch their “home” campus at some point in their tenure at INSEAD.
“At the time they apply to INSEAD, candidates select whether they would prefer to begin their studies in Fontainebleau or Singapore. Their choice has no impact on their chance of admission, as all applicants are considered in a centralized pool and the admissions committee is not aware of a candidate’s campus selection until after making the admissions decision. Upon admission, each candidate is assigned to a campus based on his or her stated preference, the class composition on each campus, and the space available. For this reason, it is possible that a few candidates each year may be admitted to INSEAD but not assigned to the campus of their choice.
“After completing their first two periods on their starting campus, students may opt to enroll at the second campus in P3, P4 or P5. Each INSEAD student is guaranteed at least one period on the other campus, and some choose to stay for a second or even third period if space is available. Over 70% of students take advantage of the campus exchange program during the course of their studies.”
