The CEMS Alliance

CEMS is a strategic alliance of leaders in business and higher education. Founded in 1988, the network has grown steadily, largely due to the success and popularity of the CEMS pan-European Master in International Management.

Today, 25 full members and three associate members, all top European and non-European academic institutions, collaborate with over 60 of the world’s leading multinational companies to offer international postgraduate students a unique blend of high quality education and professional experience.

While the academic institutions provide the highest standards of teaching and research excellence, the CEMS Corporate Partners contribute the practical and business-oriented skills and experience necessary to achieve the greatest level of success. CEMS Alumni are the perfect example of highly qualified young professionals, eager to comprehend andappreciate the diversity of cultures in Europe and beyond.

The quality of the CEMS program is reflected in its Financial Times Ranking: The CEMS MIM Program has kept its top position for four consecutive years: 3rd place in 2005, 2nd place in 2006 and 2007, 3rd place again in 2008 and 1st place in 2009.
