About MBA

The European MBA landscape spans full-time one-year programmes (INSEAD, IMD, IE, SDA Bocconi), two-year US-style programmes (London Business School, IESE), and part-time / Executive MBAs designed to run alongside a career. Median tuition sits well above other European master's — €60k–€100k for the top programmes — but average work experience of 5–8 years, plus alumni networks and career services, are core to the value proposition. The Financial Times Global MBA and Executive MBA rankings are the industry references. Admissions require a GMAT or GRE, professional experience, and near-native English; many schools also screen for leadership potential via interviews.
