In particular CEMS has been recognised for:
- Diversity. CEMS performed 50% better than the global average in the diversity indicator for management. This is demonstrated through its international mix of students and faculty.
- Value for money. With a score 97.4%, far above the global average of 44.0, this reflects the strong return on investment and shorter than average payback period for CEMS students after graduation.
In addition, CEMS has scored well above the global average in terms of thought leadership, alumni outcomes and employability.
Roland Siegers, Executive Director of CEMS, says: "The fact that the CEMS Masters in International Management has been ranked in the top 10 in The QS Masters in Management rankings is a timely reminder that global prosperity and peace are best served by breaking down barriers, rather than erecting them. Our graduates are global citizens who understand the value of cultural diversity and how it can be harnessed to create benefits for society as a whole. We look forward to the future with confidence, knowing that CEMS graduates will be leading in many of the world’s most significant organisations."
The CEMS programme unites international-calibre professors from leading universities and business schools, multinational companies, and non-profit organisations, jointly designing and delivering both theoretical knowledge and practical know-how through the CEMS Master’s in International Management.
CEMS was founded in 1988 and the network includes 31 schools across 7 continents, 74 Corporate Partners (multinational companies) and 7 Social Partners (NGOs).
