The IMMIT cohort, i.e. the same group of students start and finish the programme together and the cohort moves to a new European location each new semester, move from France, to Finland and then to The Netherlands. The location of the last semester (internship and Master’s thesis) could be anywhere in Europe. However, the location for EU students must be different from the country in which the student has obtained his/her last university degree. 

Networking in a multicultural environment

Because of this cohort set-up, students develop strong links with one another, a common identity, and an effective alumni network that is useful to their future career. An advantage of the cohort experience and programme mobility is that participants develop the awareness to cultural diversity and necessary cross-cultural management skills essential to enable effectively the design and deployment of systems internationally. In addition to the contribution provided by Third-Country Scholars, executives from several European Firms contribute to IMMIT as guest speakers at the three universities and thus reinforce the cross-cultural aspects of the programme.
