Applications for our 2021 intake of our CEMS MIM programme are NOW OPEN.
Our intention and expectation is that there will be a return to face-to-face teaching in 2021, although contingency plans are in place to deliver the academic programme through a blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning methods. The UCT GSB will return to classroom-based teaching and face-to-face learning when it is safe to do so.
This internationally recognised full-time one-year Master’s programme will enable you to engage with academic and corporate specialists from the field of international business and management, and prepare you for international research and professional employment.
The programme comprises international management courses, business skills seminars, an international internship and a business immersion project at a multinational organisation. It also includes a credit-bearing study term abroad at one of the CEMS partner universities – which include top global business schools in 33 countries.
