CEMS Master's in International Management

Become the responsible global leader the world needs.

Nova SBE is a proud member of the CEMS Alliance, a network of 33 top business schools worldwide — including 3 schools among the Financial Times Top 5 (one of which is Nova SBE), and 18 ranked in the 2026 Master in Management Ranking. The CEMS schools jointly deliver the CEMS Master’s in International Management (CEMS MIM), a globally recognized program that prepares future leaders to shape decisions across cultures, countries and contexts.

At Nova SBE, the CEMS MIM is a two-year journey combining one of our 8 Master’s programs with the CEMS year. This journey unites rigorous academics with hands-on experience through transversal courses, seminars, and collaborative projects co-designed across all CEMS schools. During the CEMS Year, students spend one semester at Nova SBE and another at a partner school, gaining both local insight and global perspective. 

Along the way, students grow as

  • International business practitioners;
  • Data and business technology advocates;
  • Business transformation drivers;
  • Innovative and evidence-based problem solvers;
  • Ethical, responsible and inclusive citizens
  • Reflective and resilient leaders.

These essential capabilities constitute the CEMS Graduate Profile.

If you aspire to make a tangible impact and contribute to a better world, this program will take you there.
