ORGANISER
CIM-Cyprus Business School was established in 1978 in Nicosia as The Cyprus Institute of Marketing and has been
operating also in Limassol since 1984. Originally set up to promote the science of Marketing in Cyprus and abroad,
during the last 46 years CIM-Cyprus Business School has evolved into an all-round Business School, offering an array
of programmes at both Undergraduate and Postgraduate level – from Marketing and Business Management to Accounting
and Finance, Shipping, Human Resource Management, and Law. Over the years, CIM-Cyprus Business
School has provided the opportunity to more than 10,000 students to acquire acclaimed qualifications and fulfil their
aspirations. Though CIM serves students of all ages and all walks of life, we still offer exclusively evening classes – in order to cater for the needs of working individuals. And we still put emphasis on combining theory and practice and remain committed to offering the best and most accessible education at the most affordable fees.
