The Cyprus Institute of Marketing (CIM) was established in Nicosia in 1978 and has been operating in Limassol as well since 1984. The Institute, which is the first Business School on the island, was set up in order to promote the science of marketing in Cyprus and abroad. In the past 32 years it has evolved into a major centre for the development of marketing science in Europe and the rest of the world, providing the opportunity to more than 5,000 students to acquire qualifications with a specifically marketing orientation.
Ever since its establishment, CIM has been a pioneer in learning for adults and in-career people. Offering exclusively evening classes for in-career individuals who did not have the chance to study abroad, but have always had the will to learn and further their careers, the CIM is rightly characterised as a ‘Second-Chance Institution’ ; at CIM, ‘Learning Never Ends.’
CIM is unique in that it combines theory and practice, giving its students the best prospects for employment and promotion. The programs are designed to fit with today’s many demanding parameters: high-quality education and expertise training according to your individual needs, be it your personal career, family or physical needs. Our distinguished lecturers and tutors begin with an initial evaluation and then structure a learning program around your specific strengths and weaknesses, guiding you towards your pre-set goals.
In an increasingly competitive market and in a society that places more and more emphasis on high-standard academic qualifications, the CIM can provide you with all the necessary tools to acquire excellent education in a conscientious and well-planned program that works to meet your individual demands and of society at large.
