CIM Accreditation

The CIM Graduate Gateway programme provides MSc graduates with the opportunity to gain a professional qualification alongside their marketing degree. Content from the MSc Marketing degree has been mapped against CIM qualifications to apply exemptions to modules (see below). This means for most qualifications MSc graduates may only have to take one assessment instead of the usual three.

CIM Certificate in Professional Marketing / Professional Digital Marketing	Marketing, Integrated Communications / Applied Marketing and Planning Campaigns	One elective of learner’s choice
