THE MBA

Our MBA is structured around a series of short, intensive, courses which can be taken individually. Each course focuses on a single topic. Students study only that topic during the length of the course. The MBA programme covers nineteen intensive classroom weeks plus a major project. In addition, there are study periods prior to examinations. Class hours are from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

The following characteristics help to describe our MBA programme:

• The language of instruction is English.

• Assessment is continuous. A combination of different methods including class participation, written exercises and examinations will determine the participant's grade.

• Project work is an integral part of our degree programme.

• Major emphasis is placed on developing computer-literate graduates with an appreciation of the strategic and practical possibilities of information technology. To this end, CIIM lecturers use simulation games, spread-sheets and other computer exercises as part of their teaching methodology. CIIM has well-equipped computer facilities.

• Team exercises and management style presentations are important components of all programmes.

 

THE MBA PROGRAMME AT CIIM IS INTERNATIONAL IN:

Faculty: Lecturers from major European and American universities are brought to Cyprus.

Curriculum: Classes and case studies in international finance, exporting, international business environment, the European Union, Japan and the East Bloc, etc.

Standards: Standards are set to international levels of excellence by an academic council of leading academics from top European and American business schools.

Projects: As part of the MBA, CIIM students have carried out company sponsored projects in a number of foreign countries.
