Is the NUS MIM plus CEMS double degree worth pursuing for Indian students interested in working internationally after graduation?

The NUS MIM plus CEMS double degree is a structured international program that adds two further semesters in two different countries after the first year at NUS, with exchange options at institutions including Cornell, London Business School, and other CEMS member schools. For students who want a specifically European or globally mobile career, the CEMS network has strong alumni connections in consulting, finance, and corporate roles across Europe and internationally. The trade-off is time and cost, the double degree adds at least one additional year to the program and proportional additional costs in tuition and living expenses across two additional locations.

• The CEMS brand is well-recognised in European corporate environments but less so in Asian markets, which means the added value is most relevant if your post-graduation target is in Europe or at global firms with European operations.
• For students who are certain about an international career trajectory and have the financial capacity for the extended program, the double degree is worth considering.
• For students who are open to working in Asia after graduation, the standard NUS MIM alone gives access to the full NUS alumni network without the additional cost and time.
