NEW The Singapore Experience.Testimonials from
Year 1 PhD Students
"Studying in Singapore has been a wonderful
experience. We have been able to work closely
with faculty based here and still remain in
connect with faculty in Fontainebleau via video
link. The professors here have opened the doors
to their homes and welcomed us with the same warm
hospitality we've experienced at the campus and
throughout Singapore. 
Singapore itself is a vibrant city-state with
great night-life, exciting travel destinations
nearby, and some of the best food in Asia!  For
me, the visit has added a unique global dimension
to an already diverse business school, which I
believe will prepare us for tackling business
research anywhere in the world. I'm very happy I
came and I wish I could stay longer! PETERSON

The Singapore Experience
I find my stay in Singapore exceedingly
enjoyable. This is my first time to Asia and I am
happy to acquire this new cultural experience. We
had a great introduction on our very first day
and since then all faculty members have been very
easy to reach. Overall, I think the transition
went very smooth. I want to thank the professors
who were kind enough to spend time with us and
organize all the informal events.
I was also quite happy with how our stay here is
organized, we are able to work in close groups.
The PhD program in Singapore is off to a great
start and I am confident it will continue in the
same vein for years to come! CHUPRININ Oleg of

The Singapore Experience
There are a few things that I particularly
appreciate about the Singapore campus. Its a
small and close knit community, so you have many
opportunities to talk with faculty members and
colleagues, in both formal and casual situations.
People are very friendly and open minded, and the
interactions always bring sparks. This open,
interdisciplinary and cooperative attitude has
become a culture in many ways.
The campus is fully connected to the France
campus, and has facilities that are comparable to
France in all ways.  Therefore, you can enjoy a
working and research environment just as good.
Life is quite comfortable, though the lifestyle
in a tropical, urban and neon-lit city can be
quite different from that in Fontainebleau. Some
of my European colleagues really liked Singapore
when they came here

The Singapore Experience
As the only top-tier business school located in
the heart of Asia, INSEADs Singapore Campus
offers a unique opportunity for doctoral
students. Just as in Fontainebleau, you will
receive the high-quality training and have easy
access to the worlds leading scholars in
business research. The Campus, of course, offers
an unparalleled environment for developing
international perspective.
You will be interacting with students and staff
members from all over the world on a daily basis.
Furthermore, Singapore is a great place to live.
You can experience an exciting mixture of
Chinese, Indian, and Malay cultures, enjoy a
great variety of cuisines, visit the beautiful
parks and sandy beaches, recharge yourself with
the amazing nightlife, etc. If these are not
enough, the rest of the Asia and Oceania are just
a short flight away. YANG Haiyang of Japan,
