CEMS MIM Study Plan

In the first year, students are provided with the fundamental concepts of International Management through core courses and seminars that all feature highly interactive methods and are largely based on individual work in addition to teamwork.

The second-year study plan requires students to successfully attend courses abroad and in Italy. Students must also participate in – and complete – all additional CEMS and Bocconi activities.

First Year (at Bocconi)

Main topics:

  • Corporate Strategy
  • Geopolitics and Business
  • Macroeconomics
  • Organization
  • Marketing Decisions
  • International Finance
  • Principles of Business Analytics
  • Performance Measurement
  • International Comparative Business Law

Second Year (at CEMS partner university and at Bocconi)

  • Global Operations and Supply Chain Management
  • Global Strategy
  • Block seminar, an intensive one-week seminar on innovative management topics. Students generally attend the Block Seminar in their semester 1 destination. The host school may require that students pay a contribution towards board and lodging for this activity
  • Other CEMS courses
  • Global Leadership
  • Global Citizenship Seminar, scheduled in semester 2, the course consists of 2 consecutive mandatory days.
  • Business project, an in-field group project. Multinational student teams solve a real company business problem in a consultancy-style project. At the same time, students develop competencies in process management, result-orientation, and team building. The project, which should be completed in approximately two months’ time, is supervised by both a company representative and a professor. The Business Project is done during the second semester at the university where the student is studying.
  • Skill seminars, training seminars jointly organized by the university and companies. The aim is to give students the essential skills to work effectively in an international management environment; emphasis is placed on skills such as communication, teamwork and presentations. Skill seminars should be taken both at the home school or and at the host school over the two semesters.


Internship abroad: a full-time consecutive period of at least 8 weeks within a company. The internship cannot overlap with the academic term during the CEMS MIM year, therefore it must take place during the summer prior to or after the CEMS MIM, or a different time depending on the academic calendar.

Foreign languages
All CEMS MIM graduates must have language competence in three languages, one of which is English.
The minimum language requirements are the following:

  • Language 1: English
    Mother tongue or Proficiency 
  • Language 2: any language
    Mother tongue or B1 oral / B1 written level 
  • Language 3: any language
    Mother tongue or elementary level

All Bocconi CEMS MIM students must also meet specific Bocconi language requirements. For more information, see the Guide to the University.

Thesis

Students are required to write a thesis to obtain their MSc degree in International Management issued by Bocconi, while the thesis is not a CEMS MIM requirement to finalize the CEMS MIM curriculum.

CEMS Partners

From its pan-European beginnings in 1988, the CEMS alliance has grown to become a truly global organization. The current globalization strategy has brought the CEMS MIM to Asia, Australasia, and North and South America. Founded in 1988 by four universities, ESADE (Barcelona, Spain),  HEC (Paris, France), University of Cologne (Germany) and Bocconi University (Milan, Italy), the number of full academic partners has grown steadily over the years.

The CEMS Alliance includes 34 full academic members around the world, each a top school in its country, and around 70 multinational companies and 8 NGOs worldwide, that provide a unique blend of high-quality education and professional experience.

While the academic partners provide the highest standard of teaching and research excellence, CEMS Corporate and Social partners contribute the practical and business-oriented skills and experience. Multinational companies and international caliber professors from top business schools and universities combine to design and deliver theoretical knowledge and practical knowhow.
