Our BA (Hons) Business Studies, BA (Hons) Global Business Management (online) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) courses are dual accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), the only chartered professional body in the UK dedicated to promoting the highest standards in management and leadership excellence.

When you graduate, you’ll receive a CMI leadership and management qualification in addition to your Bachelor’s degree or a Level 7 Strategic Management and Leadership if you're studying the MBA. The qualification, which recognises key skills for middle managers, is considered a benchmark on the way to achieving Chartered Manager status

Your CMI dual accreditation enhances your learning experience and improves your employability in a number of ways. This includes complimentary CMI student membership as you work towards your degree – providing a range of networking and professional development opportunities.
