Overview

The CEMS Master in International Management (MIM) at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) is a one-year international management programme completed alongside a CBS MSc degree. It combines academic learning with international study, corporate projects, internships and a global business network.

Copenhagen CEMS MIM Fees

The CEMS MIM is integrated into the second year of the student’s CBS master’s programme. Students complete the CEMS programme during their third and fourth semesters and receive both a CBS MSc degree and the CEMS Master’s in International Management degree.

Students should therefore consider the tuition fees of their underlying CBS MSc programme as well as living, travel and other personal expenses.

What Is the CEMS MIM?

The CEMS MIM is a one-year international management degree delivered by 33 leading business schools around the world in cooperation with around 70 corporate partners.

At CBS, the programme is taken alongside the second year of an eligible master’s degree. Students graduate with both their CBS MSc degree and the CEMS Master’s in International Management degree.

International Semester

A major part of the programme is the mandatory semester abroad. Students spend either the fall or spring semester at one of 33 CEMS partner universities around the world.

Students prioritise their preferred universities, while CBS handles the final allocation.
