Comparison of Masters conversion programmes

We have compiled a comparison chart of all the fast-track Masters programmes that give exemptions to CIM Diploma holders.  This is probably not complete, so if you come across any errors or any other programmes drop us an e-mail and we'll update the table.  We have tried to be objective in compiling the information, but we HAVE put our own programme at the top - well, as a marketing professional you will understand.  (Updated in June 03)

Notes:

*Exceptional students have completed in 9 months.
Details gathered from websites were correct at time of compilation
Where an EU registered company is paying student fees it can normally claim back any VAT
The awarding body for Dearne Valley’s programme is Hull university
The Open University programme is offered in conjunction with CIM
Research rankings were published in 2001 (scoring system is 1 to 5 with 1 being worst and 5 being best)
Glamorgan scored an 'excellent' in the Teaching Quality Assessment but we have not (so far) found any rankings for the other universities.
