CEMS MIM

A standard of quality shared by the best European Business Schools

Ranked n°1 in the world by the Financial Times in 2009, the CEMS Master in International Management (CEMS MIM) is a top-level postgraduate degree open to multilingual students enrolled in one of the CEMS member schools.

The CEMS MIM is the ultimate academic-corporate bridge program : multinational companies and international calibre professors from top business schools and universities combine to design and deliver theoretical knowledge and practical know-how.

This exposure to top-class teaching and the operational expertise of world-renowned companies gives CEMS students a golden opportunity to consolidate previous knowledge and apply newly-acquired skills. The balance of theoretical and experiential learning is achieved via a multi-faceted, carefully designed course taken over a 12-month period.

Selected students for the CEMS option will study one semester at HEC Paris, one in a partner school, and follow at least 10 weeks of professional internship. Once they have met all the requirements of the program, they will be awarded both the HEC MSc in International Business and the CEMS MIM degree.

About CEMS

The Community of European Management Schools is a strategic alliance of 28 world-class academic institutions and over 60 multinational companies to offer international, postgraduate students a unique blend of high quality education and professional experience.

Co-founded in 1988 by HEC Paris, ESADE, l'Università Bocconi and the University of Cologne, the CEMS set up a truly harmonized educational network throughout Europe, based on a joint degree. Student exchanges are only one aspect, professors are also free to cooperate in joint teaching, research and doctoral education in other universities within the partnership.

This innovative commitment has grown rapidly, largely due to the success of its flagship program, the CEMS MIM.
