Research Project

The Research Project is an optional programme element which can replace CEMS Elective credits up to a maximum of 7.5 ECTS. It can lead to the thesis for the home studies. At the end of Term 1 or Term 2, a 15-30 page report is finalised, graded by the tutoring professor at either the home or host institution and then handed in to the home programme manager.

The student is responsible for finding the professor and the topic – and for having the project approved by the Academic Director of the home institution.

Criteria for the CEMS research project:

  • “Issue-focus”: dealing with a concrete problem, be it a corporate, economic or theoretical problem
  • “Internationality”: dealing with a question that applies to more than one country
