“We are both thrilled and honoured to be re-elected CEMS Academic Committee Chair and Deputy Chair by our peers from the fantastic 33 schools which make up the CEMS Alliance. Together we shape and deliver a world-class Master's in International Management.
Our plans for the next two years are to continue work towards harnessing this outstanding alliance. We see this being achieved through the continuation of the successful Global Online Elective as well as further developing cross school curriculum- based initiatives such as joint business projects, skills seminars and other course elements. We will also work towards further defining our graduate student profile and ensuring our curriculum is refined to effectively deliver to this. Finally, we will be exploring with the Academic Committee how CEMS can contribute to the growing trend towards life- long learning both through engagement with the vast CEMS Alumni, tapping into the academic expertise of our member schools, as well as through the modem of technology in education.”
