Leaders

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our Business School’s website. Ever since our establishment, we have achieved great successes and reached many goals. Some people say that business today does not offer the same opportunities as it did before; they cite high taxes, government intervention, increasing competition and the erosion caused by inflation as factors that lessen opportunities for success. We at the CIM firmly believe that opportunities abound as never before, but that they are there for those who are willing to work hard and diligently towards success. In fact, all the reasons cited by pessimists for the dearth of business opportunities actually provide opportunities for those individuals whose personal executive skills have been honed to their sharpest point.

A successful career is directly proportional to an individual’s abilities, his or her will for action, capacity for vision, knowledge gathered through past experience and, above all, education and training, a high standard which we believe our Business School can offer you.

Working under the systematic guidance of our staff, you will multiply your effectiveness as a business manager many times over. Your personal value with regards to your company and the marketplace more widely will rise substantially. We are ever-demanding in terms of work and the standard of academic performance. Indeed, all courses require dedication and consistent effort. Our lecturers and tutors aim precisely at stimulating students’ minds and at directing them constantly towards practical solutions to problems, always pointing out the limitations of theory over practice.

We thus believe that CIM-Cyprus Business School can make a significant contribution towards your efforts in acquiring the business training you need to secure the future that you want.

Taking this opportunity, I would like to thank all the students for their support of Business School and their deep devotion to their studies. Needless to say, our success would not have been possible without the enormous contribution of all our members of staff who, beyond any shadow of doubt, have shown great enthusiasm throughout the years and have worked hard to fulfil the noble goals of the Business School.
