Admissions
Competition starts early in the INSEAD PhD in Management. Only 16-18 students from a large pool of applicants are admitted each year across Europe and Asia campuses. However, the programme's rigorous academic standards and healthy competition drive students to become top academics and researchers, empowering them to create positive change. Therefore, it's crucial to start preparing early and put in your best efforts to secure a spot in this prestigious programme.
Financing Your PhD
Five-year PhD Funding
PhD students receive competitive funding from the school. As the programme is rigorous and intensive and expectations are high, students do not bear the financial burdens typically associated with a doctoral study.
