ORGANISER

The Cyprus Institute of Marketing (CIM) was founded in September 1978 and operates in Nicosia and Limassol. As the first Business School in Cyprus, its main purpose has always been to fill the gap that exists in Cyprus’ tertiary education by offering high-quality education to in-career individuals. When, in 1978, CIM pioneered by offering Management and Marketing Degrees in Cyprus, most companies had not yet recognised the importance of marketing and management in business activity; that corporations have now acknowledged the prominence of the sciences of marketing and of management is a testament to the immense impact CIM has had on business activity in Cyprus. Since then, CIM has expanded into areas beyond Management and Marketing, offering Diplomas and Degrees in Banking, Insurance, Finance, Shipping, European Studies, Financial & Computer Studies and an MBA. Running evening-only classes, CIM combines theory and practice. CIM has won the respect of the Cyprus business world and, with more than 5,000 alumni in Cyprus and abroad, it is the leading Business School in the country.
