Student Body

IMD offers a one-year full-time MBA program with a student to faculty ratio of 2:1. This ratio helps to make the action learning cycle (the student pursues an action and learns from its outcome) an extremely effective learning method.

Before matriculating, however, applicants will have to successfully navigate the day-long admissions interview process. The day includes a personal interview, an impromptu presentation, a case study, a class shadowing and lunch. It is intentionally designed to allow the school to make several observations on its applicants. IMD is international in the truest sense of the word as over 80% of the class speaks at least 3 languages and lived outside of his or her home country prior to joining IMD.
