Cross-cultural knowledge and awareness are imparted in a number of ways, most notably via the semester that each CEMS student must complete abroad in another member school. Students can also opt to spend both academic semesters abroad.

“Abroad” is defined by

• Outside the country where the student’s Bachelor’s degree is delivered,
• Outside the country where the student’s Master’s degree is going to be delivered.

Students will demonstrate multicultural aptitude either by

• spending a second term abroad during the MIM programme year (“Tri-national track”)

OR by 

• passing a test in a second foreign language (“Tri-lingual track”)

Students need to confirm with the schools the offered tracks.

In order to avoid conflicting term dates in the January/February period, Term 1 ends on 31st January 31st at the latest, while Term 2 does not begin before 1st February.
