About MiM
The Master in Management (MiM) is Europe's answer to the pre-experience business degree — designed for graduates with little or no work experience who want a broad managerial toolkit before starting their career. Length varies from 10 to 24 months; core content covers strategy, finance, marketing, operations and organisational behaviour, with growing depth in analytics and sustainability. Top-ranked MiMs are heavily concentrated in France (HEC, ESSEC, ESCP, EDHEC), Spain (IE, Esade, IESE) and the Nordics (Stockholm SSE, CBS), with strong entrants in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The Financial Times MiM ranking is the flagship comparison. Fees range from near-zero at public universities to €40k+ at elite business schools.
