The CEMS Master’s in International Management is a one-year programme that you study in combination with your MSc degree from CBS. The CEMS MIM takes place in the second year of your studies in your third and fourth semesters.
The program is flexible about course selection as CEMS MIM offers you a range of electives in several different areas. This allows you to shape your profile in combination with your CBS Master’s degree. Jointly, the different elements of the program develop your academic knowledge, your soft skills, and your practical experience.
A distinguishing factor of the program is that it brings together all stakeholders (schools, companies, students, and alumni). Also, it is the most international management program on the market. Furthermore, the CEMS MIM in itself is an addition to your CBS degree.
The majority of the CEMS students possess a bachelor’s degree in business, but certain students come from non-business backgrounds provided that they can complete 60 ECTS of business courses before the start of the CEMS MIM year. This can be achieved in one of the following ways:
If you have any questions concerning a specific school, you can contact the Programme Manager listed on the school page from the school list.
GMAT/GRE is not a compulsory requirement joining the CEMS MIM. However, if the home school requires GMAT to get access to the local master’s programme, the candidate needs to provide a GMAT score of 600 to be admitted into the CEMS MIM.
There is currently no global scholarship programme within CEMS, however, here is a list of some scholarships and financial aid programmes available at local CEMS schools. To find out more, you can contact the local Programme Manager on the school pages from the school list.
Alternatively, there are institutions that offer loans to international students or government-supported student funds in certain countries. You may want to explore your eligibility and application details in your own country.
CEMS has associate membership with AACSB & EQUIS. All CEMS Academic Partners are accredited, please see individual schools for specific accreditation information.
Students must spend at least two out of the three terms abroad. Students either spend the internship abroad, or, when spending both academic terms abroad, they may pursue the internship at home, but within a company operating in an international environment.
For the purposes of fulfilling the CEMS MIM graduation requirements, “abroad” is defined as outside the country of the home school. Students may apply to their Academic Director to be allowed to do their internship in the home school country when their personal background justifies this interpretation. This request may be considered if the student originates from another country or has acquired secondary education or bachelor’s degree in different countries.
