Equal consideration for students on both Tel: +65 6799 5428
campuses: Participants are selected from michele.bacsafra@insead.edu
a centralized applicant pool, so that both
campuses have roughly the same MBA
profile. Recruiters are thus expected to
consider all candidates regardless of their
campus location. This will also include
exchange students at and from Wharton.
It is also in employers’ interests to target
both INSEAD campuses, as – after the
first four months of the programme
– participants are able to move freely
between sites every two months. Career
Services has comprehensive systems
in place, such as videoconferencing
equipment, to facilitate the recruitment
process.
Non-discrimination: As an international
business school, INSEAD adheres to the
principles of equality and impartiality. We
expect companies recruiting at INSEAD to
respect these principles.
