The decay of the 
isomeric state at 2340keV in 132Ce has been investigated in the 120Sn(16O, 4n)132Ce reaction. The measurements were carried out in e -
and - coincidence modes using an electron spectrometer coupled to the OSIRIS II gamma-ray array at the Heavy Ion Laboratory of the University of Warsaw. Experimentally obtained internal conversion coefficients for the 
and 
transitions allowed the multipolarities, mixing ratios, reduced transition probabilities and hindrance factors to be determined.
