Structure
The CEMS Master’s in International Management is a one year programme which you study in combination with your MSc degree from CBS. The CEMS MIM takes place in the second year of your studies in your third and fourth semester.
The programme is flexible in relation to course selection as CEMS MIM offers you a range of electives in a number of different areas. This gives you the opportunity to shape your own individual profile in combination with your CBS Master’s degree. Jointly, the different elements of the programme develop your academic knowledge, your soft skills and your practical experience.
