Curriculum Overview

The CEMS MIM curriculum is designed to take your abilities to the next level after completing one of Esade’s Masters in Management programs.

CEMS MIM immerses you in a demanding syllabus that comprises two semesters of rigorous academic study (one at Esade and one as an exchange student at one of the CEMS partner schools across the globe), plus an 8-week international internship.  During the second semester, you’ll have the chance to engage with one of the program’s highlights: The Business Project. You’ll take on the role of consultant and tackle a real business problem posed by a leading company.

The CEMS Master’s in International Management (CEMS MIM) is an internationally recognized academic qualification awarded jointly by the CEMS Global Alliance and Esade Business School. As a global credential, it complements Esade’s official degree programs, although it is not accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Education.
