CEMS’ Number x in Financial Times first ever world ranking ...



FIRST TIME EVER IN MANAGEMENT EDUCATION

The CEMS Master’s in International Management,

number 2 in the 2007 Financial Times ranking,

will become the first pre-experience Master’s degree delivered on a global scale.

The European alliance goes global with new members

in the Americas and in the Asia Pacific region.

September 2007. In the Financial Times’ international ranking of the best Masters in Management programmes, the CEMS MIM (Master’s in International Management), a joint degree of 17 leading European business schools supported by 55 Corporate Partners, is confirmed as one of the world’s most renowned programmes: it ranks number 2 overall, with a first place on value for money, alumni international mobility and international faculty. On the occasion of the release of the ranking, CEMS is announcing its commitment to enlarging the alliance beyond Europe’s borders, and to make the CEMS MIM the only joint management degree delivered on a global scale for pre-experience Master’s programmes.

Since its foundation in 1988, CEMS has achieved its original goal to establish a standard of excellence in Europe and deliver a pan-European management degree. The ambition of the alliance is now to implement the programme at the best business schools on other continents and to train future global business leaders sought out by its corporate partners. CEMS has always been one step ahead by first creating a European network of business schools and now establishing the world’s first joint degree programme delivered on a global scale.

Commenting on the decision, CEMS Chairman Bernard Ramanantsoa stated, “Like any international industry, higher business education demands global standards and CEMS feels strongly that the MSc in Management is recognised as the pre-experience global degree of choice for high-potential graduates. The uniquely global CEMS alliance affords a tremendous opportunity to consolidate this MSc segment within a global structure built on a worldwide league of MSc champions.”

The first three schools to partner with CEMS outside of Europe have been the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario (Canada), EGADE Tec de Monterrey (Mexico), and Fundaçao Getulio Vargas Sao Paulo (Brazil). Over the past months, an additional six schools have signed on, including The School of Management at St Petersburg State University (Russia), Babson College in Boston (USA), The School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University in Beijing (China), The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The National University of Singapore Business School, and Sydney University (Australia). All of these schools are recognised leaders in their respective countries for business education which ensures that CEMS global project will have a very bright future ahead of itself.

About CEMS

CEMS is a strategic alliance of academic and business leaders. Founded in 1988, the CEMS network has grown rapidly, largely due to the success of its flagship programme, the CEMS Master's in International Management (MIM). The CEMS MIM is designed to give multilingual graduate students from the member schools a unique blend of high-quality education and business focus, and equip them with the skills to thrive in an international environment. Students are required to spend one or two semesters abroad in a CEMS class at other schools in the network and to complete an internship abroad. In addition, students participate in Block Seminars which are organised by each of the CEMS schools and managed by interdisciplinary, inter-university teacher teams. The CEMS Master’s degree is always delivered in conjunction with a Master degree from a CEMS school. The international focus and business relevance assure that CEMS MIM graduates are in global demand by the corporate recruiters. The incoming class of 2007 - 2008 includes 625 students representing 47 nationalities.

The CEMS alliance also provides the platform for a series of joint research projects. Four times a year, CEMS publishes EBF, a publication which draws on leading academics and business leaders to offer a new perspective in the international management debate.
