Student clubs
The Master’s Club (TMC) brings together all students who are currently in the MSc programmes and aims to connect them with past and future students. Helmed by student volunteers and supported by the MSc Programmes Office, TMC organises activities and seminars throughout the year to enrich and enhance the student experience. They also network with alumni on a regular basis to enable students to build meaningful connections and create a vibrant community.
CEMS Club Singapore is the local chapter of the CEMS student clubs that are present in each academic partner. The CEMS Club is the most important pillar of the CEMS student experience and the main structure designed to make the CEMS life real for students. It is core to the CEMS community, at the crossroad between the students and all the different CEMS stakeholders, namely Corporate Partners, Alumni, CEMS students and their universities. It unites all CEMS students and involves them in the building of CEMS as a community in each campus.
