This year 1,100 students from 60 nationalities successfully completed the CEMS MIM.

The Annual Events and CEMS MIM Graduation Ceremony is a dynamic gathering of CEMS students, faculty and corporate partners, featuring interactive discussions, workshops and global networking opportunities. This year Bergen, located on the west coast of Norway, offered a fascinating blend of natural beauty and rich cultural heritage as a backdrop.

Professor Øystein Thøgersen, Rector of the Norwegian School of Economics said, “Hosting this year’s CEMS Annual Events has been an immense pleasure and privilege for us at NHH. The energy and dedication of all participants have been truly inspiring, reaffirming our joint commitment to enhancing the quality and relevance of the CEMS MIM program. We are especially proud to have celebrated a new cohort of exceptional CEMS graduates, who are ready to address local and global challenges and drive positive change in the world. We hope everyone left Bergen with fond memories, renewed energy, and inspiration for the journey ahead.”
