THE STUDENT PERSPECTIVE ON THE CEMS EXPERIENCE GUI DENG SAY CEMS tri-national track student 2010-11 (NUS/LSE/HEC) The CEMS Experience has awakened yet humbled me on many levels. Culturally different as we are, CEMS students are united by their openness to experience. My peers have shown me that there are many definitions and paths to life s success. The CEMS Experience will be a guiding philosophy as I find, create and journey these paths.
THE CEMS YEAR BEYOND THE PROGRAMME The 12-month MIM programme is an exceptionally rich learning experience, inside and outside the classroom. The active, network-based structure of CEMS means that opportunities abound for students to get involved and make the most of their CEMS year. SOCIAL LIFE KNOWLEDGE -SHARING CORPORATE NETWORKING HEADLINE EVENTS Events are hosted throughout the CEMS schools to ensure that students meet their peers and mix as much as possible. CEMS is not only a programme, but also a lifestyle. CEMS is an academic and corporate community. Regular conferences, seminars and forums bring these worlds closer together, with students and alumni often integrally involved in organisation as well as participation. Students enjoy unrivalled contact with highly committed Corporate Partners through programme components and company-related events.
