Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Accreditation
Get More From Your MBA
MBA & Level 7 in Strategic Management and Leadership
When you complete your MBA at IUMW, you have the option to also receive the CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership. This is because IUMW’s MBA programmes map directly to CMI modules, so you earn a globally recognised professional qualification as well as your postgraduate degree. Level 7 is developed for senior managers who have the responsibility to translate organisational strategy into effective performance. These skills give you a clear career differentiator on graduation and can therefore boost your employability.
Earn Chartered Manager Status (CMgr)
With the CMI L7 Diploma qualification plus at least three years of relevant work experience, you can apply to become a Chartered Manager via the Fast Track route, the most prestigious status available in the management profession.
In order to obtain Chartered Manager Status, you should apply to CMI directly and pay the requisite fee. See this CMI page for an overview of the different routes and details of how to contact the Chartered Manager team.
How You Benefit From CMI Dual Accreditation
