The CEMS alliance offers a joint academic program called the CEMS Master’s in International Management. It is taught at leading business schools all over the world, including WU.

CEMS was founded in 1988 by four renowned European universities. The concept took off quickly and the alliance grew into a worldwide network of more than 100 academic and corporate members, working together to develop a cutting-edge educational program for tomorrow’s international managers.

The CEMS master’s program has an excellent international reputation and consistently ranks among the top 10 programs in the Financial Times Global Masters in Management ranking.

CEMS alumni are successful managers all over the world. Three out of four CEMS graduates work for multinational companies, and half of them work outside their home country. CEMS alumni truly live the CEMS spirit of global citizenship.

In 2019, the CEMS Annual Events, consisting of the annual meeting, a graduation ceremony, and networking events, will be hosted by WU. Although normally an ad-free zone, WU will be offering selected sponsors the exclusive opportunity to present their company to a unique and international target group at this event.
