CEMS MASTER OF MANAGEMENT SPECIALISING IN INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT

CEMS MIM ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

ATTRIBUTES AND QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED FOR THIS QUALIFICATION

We welcome applications from candidates who hold a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in management, economics, or a related field. If your background is in a different area, you can still qualify with a postgraduate qualification, such as an honours degree or postgraduate diploma in economics or management, completed after any bachelor's degree.

Your qualification must be recognised as sufficient for Master's-level study in the country where you earned it. In South Africa, this corresponds to an NQF Level 8 qualification. International applicants may be asked to confirm their degree's equivalence to South African standards.
