Established in December 1988 by four leading European schools: ESADE, HEC Paris, Bocconi University and the University of Cologne, the CEMS Alliance designed the first truly European business education through one single Master's in International Management (MIM) degree. Since its launch 28 years ago, CEMS has grown into Global Alliance of 30 leading business schools, 75 multinational companies and NGOs that together offer the CEMS MIM.
