I'm planning on applying to do the MIM + CEMS MIM at ESADE with the exchange at NUS. I'm wondering though whether CEMS is worth it, will it significantly increase my employment prospects? or the prestige of my education when employers look at it?
QS have CEMS ranked 4th for MIM degrees, but I'm wondering whether employers see it as an entirely separate degree, or just an extended ESADE course.
Hi Marcus, sounds like an exciting program - great schools and a global alliance.
Sometimes, and I believe this is one of those cases, not everyone will be aware of something that is quite prestigious. My recommendation is that when you have it on your CV / LinkedIn etc. you state what it is and its global positioning.
For example on CV:
ESADE CEMS MIM
Prestigious dual degree ranked top 5 globally for MIMs in collaboration with ESADE ranked top X
Something along these lines - what this does it clearly show the value without the person reading the CV having to look it up or know about it already.
At the end of the day - do the program because you're excited about it and because you feel it will bring you into the career that you want. ESADE and NUS are already carrying much of the weight, and the CEMs will be the cherry on top.
Happy to speak more if helpful.
Annika
