WHERE THE WORLD COMES TOGETHER

When you join CEMS through the Master’s in International Management programme, you become part of a globalcommunity of academic, corporate and social institutions dedicated to educating and preparing you to join the future generation of global business leaders.

“CEMS students and alumni are responsible and ethical individuals with a natural curiosity about the world in which they live, giving

them the basis from which to develop a sustai-nable global mind-set. The CEMS MIM develops that curiosity into a powerful cross-cultural un-derstanding through studying, working and living in multiple international locations. This gives CEMS MIM graduates a high level of maturity to successfully adapt to the globalised workplace.”

and empathy, and who show profes-sional responsibility and accountabi-lity in relation to society as a whole - all skills that are required to become successful international managers.
