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.

Ranked the n°1 Master's in Management in the world by the Financial Times in 2009, the CEMS MIM is delivered by a global league of leaders. The reputation of the members of the alliance is unrivalled: 26 world-class academic institutions collaborate together with more than 70 corporate partners and 3 social partners (NGOs) to offer international, postgraduate students a unique blend of high quality education and professional experience.
