CEMS Master's in International Management

Think globally. Lead collaboratively. 

Nova SBE is a proud member of the CEMS Alliance, a network of 33 top business schools worldwide — including 5 ranked among the 2025 Financial Times Top 20 Master’s in Management. Together, we offer the CEMS Master’s in International Management (CEMS MIM), a globally recognized program for future international leaders. 

This two-year journey combines rigorous academics with hands-on experience through transversal courses, seminars, and collaborative projects co-designed across all CEMS schools. You’ll spend one semester at Nova SBE and another at a partner school, gaining both local insight and global perspective. 

If you aspire to make a tangible impact and contribute to a better world, this program will take you there. Applicants interested in combining their Nova SBE Master’s with the CEMS MIM should apply for both programs simultaneously. Even if not admitted to the CEMS track, candidates may still secure a place in their chosen Master’s at Nova SBE. 

CEMS 2nd Round Applications

Applications for the CEMS MIM class of 27/28 are open for students who have started their Nova SBE’s Master programs in September 2026.
