The elements of the CEMS MIM
The CEMS MIM is a one year programme that includes the following mandatory elements:
You get the opportunity to study one semester abroad at one of our CEMS partner universities. The semester abroad will be undertaken either in Term 1 or Term 2, and the CBS CEMS administration will delegate the placement. We cannot guarantee a placement in your preferred term abroad.
Courses (45 ECTS)
A combination of mandatory courses in Global Strategic Management and Global Leadership as well as electives. During your semester abroad, the electives on offer will depend on the CEMS partner university you attend. The electives on offer will vary to some extent from year to year.
The business project is a ‘real-life’ consulting problem for one of our corporate partners that you will solve in a multicultural team.
You will complete an intense 1-week block seminar at the beginning of your CEMS year.
Skill seminars focus on soft skills within areas such as leadership, presentation and communication techniques, business coaching and negotiation. The skill seminars run every semester and they are usually intense, practice-oriented seminars in small groups of maximum 20 students.
An international internship of minimum 8 weeks will be instrumental in converting your theoretical knowledge into practical experience and skills.
If you are selected for CEMS MIM with a B1/B1 in Language 2 and/or 3, you do not necessarily fulfill the CEMS MIM graduation requirement. B1/B1 level language courses and tests are valid for graduation if they are taken maximum two years before the start of the CEMS MIM. If your test is older than that, you can opt to fulfill the language graduation requirement through a variety of options, which you can read more about on cems.org.
Structure
The CEMS Master’s in International Management is a one year programme which 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 semester.
The programme is flexible in relation to course selection as CEMS MIM offers you a range of electives in a number of different areas. This gives you the opportunity to shape your own individual profile in combination with your CBS Master’s degree. Jointly, the different elements of the programme develop your academic knowledge, your soft skills and your practical experience.
A distinguishing factor of the programme is that it brings together all stakeholders (schools, companies, students and alumni). Also it is the most international management programme on the market. Furthermore, the CEMS MIM in itself is an addition to your CBS degree.
