MBA COMMUNITYA worldwide networkA small, high-caliber group of international and diverse people, the MBA community includes our 90 participants and their families, our experienced Faculty and alumni from past MBA and executive programs. |
The MBA Class of 2010
We select the best – the quality of our participants is the key factor in the success and reputation of the IMD MBA. Like all MBA classes at IMD, this year’s participants are a small group of highly motivated, international people with significant achievements to their credit.
In a class of only 90, there is simply no place to hide - Faculty and staff know you as an individual, not just a face in an auditorium.

“As a corporate lawyer, I chose to study for an MBA at IMD because I wanted to develop the skills that would enable me to move into the center of business activity. Here, I had 89 colleagues with very diverse business backgrounds: I really benefitted from their extensive experience.”

IMD MBA partners
Every year, many MBAs come to Lausanne with their partners. To make their year as rewarding as possible, the partner program helps them to settle into Lausanne and create an active network. Partners often take the opportunity to organise lectures, language and computer classes, cultural and social events, as well as sports activities and excursions. IMD also provides the partners with a study room and computer facilities.
IMD kindergarten
Our on-campus, part-time kindergarten provides a French / English environment for children between 2.5 and 5 years old. Your children play, create, share and spend time with others from many different countries. The kindergarten, open daily, is run by a qualified professional.
The IMD MBA Faculty
Unique to IMD is a Faculty to participant ratio of 1:3.
Our Faculty give a strong global perspective to the program. They represent over 20 nationalities and divide their time between teaching and research. At the same time, they often act as consultants and many have held management positions in manufacturing or service companies.
As a result, the Faculty contribution to the MBA:
- Covers the full spectrum of management skills and critical issues facing business leaders
- Draws on practical experience
- Provides up-to-date knowledge of the realities of leading growth
IMD Alumni Network – an infinite source of support and learning

- There are over 60,000 executives living and working in over 140 countries and over 40 official alumni clubs covering the five continents

“I would recommend everyone to talk to alumni before going through the IMD admission process. IMD alumni are exceptional people and they were of valuable support for me - even though one finally has to go through the selection process by oneself.”
Andreas Maier, German, MBA 2005 |
