Key features of the CEMS MIM program at VSE in Prague

What really tips the scales are a high level of teaching, where the program is not only constantly benchmarked by the CEMS alliance, close cooperation with selected corporate partners such as Hilti, Škoda Auto or Plzeňský Prazdroj, but also international exposure because students must complete an internship abroad and spend one semester at a selected foreign university from the CEMS alliance, which currently consists of 33 top world universities and more than 70 corporate partners. Having done their studies in English, the graduates then easily land jobs with foreign companies and, over the course of 3 years after their studies, draw average salaries in the neighbourhood of over 150,000 CZK a month.
