Experience Report
You not only study in a country different from your home school (that could already be different from the one of your bachelor!), but at the same time you will meet people from all over the world and these two characteristics will make you more interesting in the eyes of companies.

Applying for the CEMS Global MIM Program is to experience the rigor of international learning environments, get exposed to varying ways of life, and widen my context and understanding of the global business environments.

Don’t consider just do it . Through the Global MIM program I was able to meet so many new people and got to experience so many things that I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise. With the connections I’ve made over the past 2 semesters I truly realize why its called “Global” MIM.

The Global MIM program awards both a Master in Management degree from Korea University and a CEMS MIM (Master in International Management) Certificate. In the first semester, students study at Korea University, and in the second semester, they continue their studies at one of the CEMS partner schools. Additionally, students can enhance their global business skills through an 8-week international internship.
