CEMS MIM program counts three terms: two academic terms (Term 1 & Term 2) and the international internship term (Term 3). The two academic terms must be consecutive (August – June), while the third term can take place before or after terms 1 and 2. Students must spend one academic term at UAI Business School and the other one of the universities abroad of the Alliance.
Common curricular content is in place in all member schools. Within these general program rules, jointly-established quality criteria have to be met. Within these boundaries, member schools offer their interpretation of the curriculum with a clear local identity.
This is one of the strengths of the CEMS concept: to establish a common framework and quality level while drawing from the variety of local topics, specialties, and qualities.
