CEMS is a global alliance of the world's top universities and business schools, as well as corporate institutions, and NGOs, of which Keio University is the only member institution from Japan. The CEMS MIM (Master's in International Management) is a double degree program that allows students to earn a master's degree from both CEMS and its member institutions. Since Keio University became an official member of CEMS in 2010, Keio CEMS students have numbered more than 50 in total and the university receives international students from CEMS member schools every semester.
