Program and Curriculum
The CEMS MiM program seeks to foster critical thinking among its students. Furthermore, they are trained to assume personal responsibility of leadership.
The flexibility and global standards of the curriculum allows the students to develop international networks. This is made possible through exchange programs and the opportunity to study across more than one campuses. While the curriculum for all CEMS students remains the same, the global exposure of various different places adds to the global acumen.
Apart from 30 schools, the global partners also include 70 high-performing companies and 5 social partners that offer internships. Two terms are to be spent in studies while it is mandatory to have an internship term out of the 3 total terms. However, your internship should not overlap with the first term.
