Asian leg of INSEAD'S management programme starts in Singapore

Since its launch, 70% of the programme’s classes were held face-to-face.

Graduate business school INSEAD’s Master in Management (MIM) programme has embarked on the next phase of the learning journey at the school’s Asia campus in Singapore after 94 students from 32 countries came together last 8 March.

According to a media release, 20 March will be heralded as the MIM Unification Day, which would be a new tradition specifically created for the programme.

“Future MIM cohorts will celebrate every 20 March [with] values now ingrained in this new programme’s identity: togetherness, resilience, gratitude, and generosity,” INSEAD said.

Whilst it has been the norm for many schools to hold online classes due to COVID-19 pandemic, INSEAD has maintained in-person classes which adhered to strict health and safety measures, moving to a hybrid model when required.

“Since the programme began, more than 70% of the MIM classes have been conducted face-to-face, a considerable achievement considering the circumstances; when classes were held on-campus, students who had to stay at home could connect directly to the classroom to engage with the professor or their peers sitting in the room,” INSEAD added.

The MIM programme made its debut seven months ago.
