CEMS, XTM and Live Projects

CEMS Projects

The CEMS Master in International Management (MIM) is a one-year joint degree program offered by a consortium of 34 leading business schools, over 70 Corporate Partners, and 8 Social Partners around the world. SSE is the only school in Sweden that is a member of CEMS. 

Within CEMS, students must carry out a Business Project accounting for 15 ECTS. Business projects reinforce the partnership between universities and companies in jointly shaping the students' learning process in international management. They are consultancy-like projects designed as a real-life learning experience for students: international teams solve a real business problem as a one-term, part-time activity.

Executive Trainee Module (XTM) Projects

The MSc Executive Trainee Module, or XTM in short, is SSE's response to the growing demand for practical learning integrated into traditional academic training, emphasizing the strategic dimensions that are so important in today's business organizations. 

XTM includes 80 days of full-time trainee work and 20 days of case writing and XTM classes at SSE. The program is offered for most MSc programs during semester 3. To participate, you have to be selected by one of the XTM companies.

MBM Live Projects

The MSc in Business and Management (MBM) program teaches students to manage, lead and develop business. A big part of the pedagogy is therefor to use real-life projects in the courses so that all aspects of the problem-solving situation are present. 

The Live Project module builds on the simple idea that students need to turn theory into practice to grow both academically and professionally. It’s a great learning platform not only for students but also for organizations hosting a student group.

The project runs parallel with courses and students work on their projects for about 1 day per week for 7-8 weeks.

We offer companies and organizations the opportunity to take part in the following courses:
