From a European community to a Global alliance
Approved by the CEMS Executive Board in 2007, the current globalisation strategy has seen CEMS open up to Asia, Australasia, and North and South America. Over the past three years schools from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Singapore and Turkey have begun delivering the CEMS MIM for the first time. Japan became the latest CEMS full member country in at the end of 2010, with the CEMS MIM delivered from the beginning of the 2011-12 academic year.
At the Annual Events in December 2011 Tsinghua School of Economics & Management will be submitted for vote. In the event of a positive vote China will therefore become the next country in which the CEMS MIM will be delivered, as of the 2012-13 academic year.
This overall evolution is reflected by the increasingly cosmopolitan make-up of the entering cohort of students. The current class comprises 59 nationalities, of which 25 non-European.
Upon graduation they then go on to take a truly international career trajectory in a great variety of sectors and in many cases within multinational companies.
CEMS also remains a strong global player within the corporate world, working in close collaboration with over 60 multinational companies, all of whom enjoy a high reputation both nationally and internationally.
