CEMS Alliance

CEMS – The Global Alliance in Management Education is a strategic alliance offering comprehensive education in management and business. CEMS consists of 33 Academic Members (1 university for each country is allowed) and almost 70 Corporate Partners (usually leading and multinational companies). Its mission is to inspire and develop future generations of international business leaders.

Today, CEMS is the global league of leaders on the pre-experience Master’s market and it cannot be equalled in terms of the reputation of its members: Academic Members in cooperation with Corporate Partners offer international postgraduate students a unique blend of high-quality education and professional experience. CEMS is also very active in fostering faculty cooperation for joint teaching, research and doctoral education.

While the academic institutions provide the highest standards of teaching and research excellence, the CEMS Corporate Partners contribute to the practical business skills. This combination is key in allowing our students and alumni to achieve the highest level of success. CEMS MIM (M.Sc. in International Management), a prestigious supranational business degree awarded by the CEMS alliance, is acknowledged as the best passport to an international career.

The partner universities also consistently rank in the top positions of the Financial Times Masters in Management Ranking. In 2025, the Master in International Management (CEMS) taught at VŠE ranked 17th in the Financial Times Masters in Management Ranking. In the QS Masters in Management Rankings 2026, CEMS was ranked 4th out of 234 programmes.
