Graduation

The Graduation Ceremony takes place each year during the CEMS Annual Events, which are hosted by one of the CEMS member schools. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the Graduation Ceremony in 2021 had to be cancelled, but hopefully in 2022 CEMS will return to the global celebration of graduates.

To graduate, the CEMS student must have successfully completed all obligatory components for the CEMS MIM including her/his home degree by 30th September of the graduation year at the latest.

Exempted from this deadline are: an internship started no later than the second Monday of September 2022 and finished no later than the first Sunday of November 2022, the home degree to be passed by the second Friday of November at the latest (both with written confirmation by 30th September), and a pending language exam result from an exam taken in September (result to be presented by the first Sunday of November). Students have maximum 1.5 years to complete the CEMS MIM degree after graduating from their home school programme.

However, in cases when the home degree completion has been delayed, the period may be extended to maximum 5 years, counted from the end of the MIM year.

As an example a student of MIM Year 2021/22 graduating from the home school programme in June 2022, must fulfill all CEMS graduation requirements by November 2023.

Failure to meet this deadline will result in loss of entitlement to graduate from the MIM programme. In case of serious reasons a student may request a postponement to be assessed casebycase by the CEMS Graduation Committee.
