Special note - the CIM Professional Diploma introduced recently by CIM is not accredited at a level high enough to provide the exemptions.  CIM Professional Postgraduate Diploma, and the older CIM Diploma are the only CIM qualifications that can be accepted

 

Delivery of programme:

Attendance at the taught sessions is mandatory.  The programme is delivered via the 'executive' model.  Busy executives need only attend two intensive taught weekends with much of the learning taking place between and after the weekends.  Course members must have daily access to the internet and email, as much of the learning takes place within the Webucate system.  Click here for details.

Overseas qualifications which are granted equivalent exemptions to CIM Diploma:

In other words if you hold one of the qualifications listed below, you need only attend the two weekend workshops near Heathrow airport in the UK and you can do the rest of your studying via the Webucate system.

Top prize for Lorraine

Best Overall Performance in Developing Themes in Marketing, MSc Marketing
Lorraine Davidson

The Glamorgan Business School recently held a prize ceremony to celebrate the success of high achievers within the faculty. The award ceremony acknowledged students for their outstanding work during their studies.

Lorraine receives her prize from the Dean of Faculty, Prof Alan Lovell.  Also pictured is Senior Lecturer Henry Enos, scheme leader for this programme.

The ceremony took place on the university’s main campus and was attended by the winners and their families with the opening address given by Faculty Dean Prof Alan Lovell.

Students were rewarded for the best overall performance in a range of subjects and courses that can be studied at the school including accounting and finance, marketing, international business and enterprise, and procurement.

Winners who excelled in their chosen fields each received a trophy and certificate acknowledging their hard work and achievements during their studies.

Lorraine began her studies in April 07 and completed in Sep 08, graduating with distinction at the December ceremony.  She is active in CIM branch affairs, and has her own business Freelance Marketing based in Richmond, Yorkshire.

A recent group started with 18 members pictured here on the steps of Moor Hall

 

"Thought I should drop you a note now that the MSc is over! .... I really enjoyed the course and on reflection, I can't believe how quickly the last year has gone. Hopefully the three colleagues that I recommended the course to will meet the standard of achieving a distinction too! (Just a shame that your new £20 Amazon voucher offer per new enrolment didn't exist when I recommended the course to the three of them!) ..... When I needed to contact MDC for things, queries were handled promptly and staff were very helpful. ...... I know you used a quote from me in your last newsletter, and if you need to use someone as a case study in future, feel free to get in touch." ....... Marcus Bailey, Lloyds TSB (graduated Jul 03)
