CEMS Community

The alliance presently consists of 26 top business schools, around 70 major multinational corporations, about 800 enrolled students and 2,500 successful alumni. They all come together to form the CEMS community. RSM is the only Dutch member of the alliance. 

CEMS has a global network of local student committees in each country to support and encourage its students network and promote opportunities for its members. Before long you'll truly feel part of the community. You'll be part of at least two local CEMS clubs: one at RSM and one at your exchange destination. You'll also be in contact with the local CEMS club during your internship. It is precisely this student network that will make your degree programme so tremendously enjoyable, and it is the start of an extremely beneficial alumni network. 

CEMS alumni create a network of friendly and lasting contacts to aid their understanding and appreciation of the diversity of cultures in Europe and beyond. These values find expression in the way the CEMS Alumni Association functions. Teams of committed CEMS alumni in every country promote social and professional activities at an international level and are responsible for keeping in contact with other CEMS alumni. They meet on a regular basis to discuss the activities and development of the CEMS Alumni Association, and jointly elect the Executive Committee every two years.

Membership of CEMS opens up possibilities that are the envy of other social and professional networks. An online ‘Who's Who’ of CEMS alumni lists all 4,500 alumni located around the world, and the alumni careers service features a broad spectrum of international job offers, including those from CEMS corporate partners, alumni entrepreneurs and head-hunters as well as a CV database so user companies can contact you. 

CEMS Annual Graduation Ceremony 

The CEMS spirit comes alive at the annual CEMS graduation ceremony. This event takes place at one of the CEMS schools every December and is attended by all CEMS stakeholders: students, graduants, companies, universities and allumni. During the Annual Events a host of festivities and activities are being held, for all the stakeholders where existing friendships are strengthened and new friendships begin. The highlight is of course the Graduation Ceremony.
