Business Projects
Each CEMS student has to carry out a Business Project during Term 2. It amounts to 15 ECTS.
Business projects reinforce the CEMS partnership between universities and companies in jointly shaping the student learning process in international management.
Rules, Roles and Relations concerning Business Projects
Student teams consist of 3-5 students. The amount of time spent on the project within the company may vary depending on its requirements. However, a Business Project will amount to about more or less 50 % of Term 2's workload.
