ABOUT THE INSEAD MASTER IN FINANCE (MIF)
The INSEAD Master in Finance is a 14-month full-time pre-experience master's degree designed for recent graduates and early-career professionals with 0–2 years of work experience. It combines four months of pre-programme online foundations, ten months of core curriculum, and six months of professional experience or internship.
Students study across INSEAD's campuses in Fontainebleau, France and Singapore, beginning in Europe before moving to Asia - a structure built to align with recruitment and internship cycles in both regions. AI is embedded throughout the curriculum, including core courses in machine learning and financial technology.
The MIF is a French state-accredited degree (diplôme visé) and joins INSEAD's finance portfolio alongside the Executive Master in Finance (EMFIN).
