    Before you apply

    Almost every university accepts an IELTS result for two years from the test date. If you're not sure about INSEAD, check its admissions page before you book.

    We found nothing from INSEAD on IELTS Online, so ask before you book it.

    If your score is below this figure, ask the admissions office whether INSEAD would still consider your application, and whether it offers a pre-sessional English course.

    Where this figure comes from

    We read this figure on INSEAD's own admissions page, which gives it as a recommendation. Last checked: October 2026.
