INSEAD’s MBA fee is €103,500 for the August 2025 intake and €107,600 for the January 2026 intake. The program runs for 10 months, which means you can get back to work faster and save on living expenses.
Now if you look at London Business School, the tuition is about £115,000, and the program usually takes 15–21 months. Schools like IESE in Spain also cost around €105,000, and their program is longer—around 15 to 19 months. So while INSEAD's tuition looks similar, its shorter duration can actually help reduce your total cost.
You also need to think about location. INSEAD runs in both France and Singapore, so your living costs will depend on where you stay. Schools based in big cities like London can be more expensive when it comes to housing and travel.
So overall, INSEAD is not the cheapest, but when you combine its strong brand, shorter program, and global exposure, it gives solid value for the money. Many people choose it for a fast-track career boost without being out of the job market for too long.
