Applying to INSEAD: your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into INSEAD?
We start from your profile: your grades, your degree, your budget and what you want to do after your studies. From that we help you choose the INSEAD programme where your application is strongest. Then we build the application with you, so that it is as strong as it can be: we work on your CV and statement of purpose, check every document the school asks for, and submit the file on time. We then follow the application with INSEAD and tell you what the school asks for next. If the school invites you to an interview, we prepare you for it. INSEAD makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to INSEAD need?
Three things carry most of the weight: your academic record, a statement of purpose that explains why this programme fits your studies so far and your plans, and proof of your level in the teaching language. Private schools such as INSEAD usually add an interview, and for a Master’s they look at how your first degree connects to the subject. We read your file the way an admissions team would, tell you honestly where it is weak, and help you fix what can be fixed before it is sent.
What English level do I need for INSEAD?
INSEAD sets the English level for each programme; for English-taught degrees in France this is normally level B2 or above, shown by a test such as IELTS or TOEFL. Some schools waive the test if your previous degree was taught in English. We check the exact score for the programme you choose before you book a test.
When should I apply to INSEAD?
INSEAD sets its own dates for each intake, and popular programmes can fill before the final deadline. Applying early gives you more choice and leaves time for your student visa.
Which programmes at INSEAD are taught in English?
4 of the programmes listed on this page are taught fully in English: INSEAD/Tshinghua Double Degree Executive MBA, Master in Finance (14 months), Master in Management Programme and MBA. Tell us your background and we will tell you which of them you are eligible for.
What does it cost to apply to INSEAD with Dimensions France?
