INSEAD has extended its final Round 4 MBA application deadline for the January 2026 intake from August 5th to August 26th, 2025. To be considered for a given round, all application materials must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Central Europe Time / French Time.
The school has reported making this change due to a growing number of eligible professionals whose MBA plans have been disrupted by such situations as administrative delays, relocation challenges, and shifting personal or professional circumstances.
“At INSEAD, we remain deeply committed to our values of diversity and global access to education,” said Mark Stabile, Dean of Degree Programmes at INSEAD. “Over the past months, we’ve been hearing from many accomplished professionals around the world who are still finalizing plans amid continued global uncertainty. By extending our final MBA application deadline and reopening scholarship applications, we’re taking extra steps to provide meaningful support.”
In addition to the extended application deadline, INSEAD is also reopening scholarship applications for Round 4 of the January 2026 intake. They have doubled the number of opportunities available, providing financial support to high-potential applicants.
