A Fast Track Route to Success

The MBA program enables students to convert their CIMA qualification to a UK master’s degree in Business- a fast track to new opportunities and enhanced career opportunities: based on the average pay for jobs requiring finance qualifications around the world, it has been observed that a recognized MBA is by far the most lucrative. CIMA/ ACCA equips you with the adequate knowledge of Finance and Accounting and skills to land a rewarding job in finance and the MBA allows you to advance your career. In this light, your CIMA qualifications complemented by the MBA will help you become the leader you were meant to be.

Muhtar Kent, the Chairman, and former CEO of the Coca-cola Company, discusses the importance of transforming one’s professional qualifications into an MBA: “My MBA experience taught me to really refine both the analytical side of my thinking and the creative and emotional side – something that has paid off in droves as I have progressed through my career… It teaches you to have a holistic view of the mechanics, strategies and psychology of business. That was invaluable to me.”
