Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM)

This programme at Middlesex University Dubai is accredited by the leading professional marketing body, The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). CIM works alongside universities worldwide, mapping their degree content against CIM’s most sought after professional marketing qualifications.

This offers students the opportunity to gain exemptions on modules of CIM qualifications, reducing the number of module assessments taken to one or two instead of three. These exemptions make it more efficient and cost-effective to gain a professional marketing qualification.

CIM’s qualifications are based on detailed research and ongoing employer feedback, sharing the skills and knowledge required for today’s marketers. This helps our university students to advance into practitioners, stand out from the crowd and increase their chances of securing their first-choice graduate position.

Please visit the CIM Accredited Degrees website (and select Middlesex University Dubai from the drop down menu) to see the exemptions offered for your programme.

Middlesex University Dubai is also one of the few CIM Accredited Study Centres in Dubai, offering students the opportunity to complete remaining CIM modules required to earn their CIM qualification. For more details, please visit the Middlesex University Dubai CIM Accredited Study Centre website.
