Is specific university education or experience required to take a course at CMI?
Is specific university education or experience required to pursue a Master's program?
For Master’s programs, a higher education degree from any professional field is required, or non-graduates who can validate their title through meritocracy of relevant professional experience. Except for the Master in Sustainable Finance, which requires a background related to finance, economics, business, or similar fields. No prior experience is required, but if you have it, university studies in the area can be validated if you have not studied a degree related to finance.
A series of requirements and documents must be submitted during the admission application process, as detailed in the Master’s section of the website.
Are the Master's programs officially recognized?
No, they are proprietary degrees developed with the highest quality standards, designed to successfully enter and excel in the international job market.
Can a CMI Business School degree be apostilled?
Yes, the notarization and apostille process for CMI degrees can be carried out, provided it is done through our institution. It must be requested with 10 business days’ notice and costs €100. Shipping throughout Spain or internationally is also available (subject to fees).
Are scholarships and funding available to facilitate program payments?
Sí, CMI ofrece Becas de hasta el 50% del precio de los Másteres a candidatos con méritos de excelencia académica, provenientes de países emergentes o con discapacidad. En tanto, para aquellas personas con trayectoria profesional en RSC / ONGs, voluntariados o similares, desempleadas o recién graduadas, se les hará una subvención del 25%.
For all candidates, CMI offers financing to make Master’s payments in 9 monthly installments. If payment is made in a single initial installment, the student can benefit from a single payment discount.
How are evaluations conducted during the Master's programs?
Continuous student evaluation is carried out through case studies, exams, individual assignments, and teamwork.
Is an official language certificate required to pursue a Master's program at CMI Business School?
Our programs are taught in Spanish (except for our new Expert in CSR and Sustainability program, which is also taught in English). However, an official certificate is not required, provided the applicant demonstrates a sufficient level to fully follow the classes.
A level corresponding to B2 (according to the Common European Framework of Reference) is recommended.
Will I be able to complete internships at companies through the Master's program?
Professional Internships can be completed as part of the Master’s Final Project or in addition to it. These will be paid, and all students will have the option to continue the internship period extracurricularly, i.e., without credit, for a period of 6 months. At the bottom of our homepage, you can see which organizations we collaborate with.
How much time commitment do the Master's programs require?
The weekly hours dedicated to the program depend on the chosen modality and the level of dedication of each student. In the in-person weekly modality, the student has eight hours of classes per week; in the in-person bi-weekly modality, it is 10 hours every two weeks; and in the online modality, it is approximately six hours of class every 15 days, not including the hours each student dedicates to study and completing assignments.
The class schedule is designed so that students can attend sessions without their professional work being affected, or so that those who are not working can apply for internships and jobs without conflicts with the Master’s schedule.
What are the payment methods?
Payments can be made via bank transfer, credit card, or PayPal. The latter payment method includes a service fee of 38 euros, which is borne by the student.
How can I communicate complaints, problems, or grievances?

If you wish to submit any complaint, problem, or grievance, you can contact your program coordinator directly to find the best solution, or send an email to calidad@cmiuniversal.com, or a message through the Digital Student Card Application, in the Requests, Complaints, Claims, and Suggestions (PQRS) section.
