Thanx Angst!
i want to know the reputation of CIIM for its mba programme in and around cyprus in terms of job prospects for non-eu person

To be honest, I guess an MBA from Cyprus is not the most obvious choice for career purposes, simply because Cyprus is not a well-known location for European employers and not that many people will have heard of that CIIM MBA. Mybe it's different for special course like shipping (I do not know whether CIIM offers some kind of specialization like this). But then, it's not as expensive and competitive as top European programs like INSEAD, IESE, or London Business School...

hi ish,
Even I hold a PG Degree in marketing and have been working for the last 5 yrs in some largerst banks back in India. Ciim, may be, not so well known today, but it is revolutionary. It has been ranked 77 in all global mba programs and 21st in europe. it has a enviable placements and I hope u understand that PG is not spoon feeding. u can contact me at my e mail:[email protected] for further queries.
