Curriculum

The CEMS MIM comprises a carefully-designed curriculum that achieves one of the main goals of the alliance as a whole: to combine academic theory with business practice.

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 as they go through the programme.

This balance of theoretical and experiential learning is achieved via a multi-faceted curriculum.

During the programme, students are exposed to interdisciplinary problems in an international context and are encouraged to adopt an analytical and critical attitude in lectures, discussions and project work.

The workload of the programme is 65 ECTS in total with a minimum requirement of 24 ECTS in each term.
