CEMS is a strategic alliance of leading business schools and multinational companies. Its first mission is to set a global standard of excellence for pre-experience Master’s in management.

Founded in 1988 in Europe, the network has grown steadily, largely due to the success and popularity of the CEMS Master’s in International Management: the MIM programme. Today, CEMS is the global league of leaders on the pre-experience Master’s market and it cannot be equalled in terms of reputation of its members: 28 world-class academic institutions (17 full members and 11 associate members) collaborate together with more than 54 corporate partners to offer international, postgraduate students a unique blend of high quality education and professional experience.

	The CEMS members cooperate on the following initiatives:
	.	CEMS MIM (M.Sc. in International Management), a prestigious supranational business degree that can be acknowledged as the best passport for an international career. This one-year joint degree programme is exclusively open to the Master's students of the CEMS schools who meet very strict selection criteria, and receive the CEMS degree in conjunction with their home degree.
	.	EBF : a quarterly management review owned by CEMS, bringing a new voice in the global management debate.
	.	CEMS also fosters faculty cooperation for joint teaching, research and doctoral education.
