e-MBA at a glance

Our e-MBA is a fully online programme offered solely on a full-time basis and lasting 18 months.

You will study for a total of five semesters. During the first three terms, you will study for several compulsory modules and choose 1 elective out of a wide offering. During the last two terms, you will concentrate on a compulsory Capstone Project.

During the first three terms, for each module each week you are expected to study between 2 and 3 hours. For each module, you will watch a pre-recorded lecture, do various independent learning exercises and e-tivities and, every other week, join a live webinar with your lecturer and fellow learners.

You will have one-on-one support throughout, and you will be able to talk to your lecturer at any point as well as discuss your ideas with your fellow learners in chat rooms and discussion forums.

We will be with you from the first minute, offering unparalleled support, and we’ll be with you far beyond your graduation.

All e-MBA students are eligible to apply for Erasmus+ funding that can take them to a number of different countries within and outside Europe on a study abroad exchange.

The starting date is either October or January each year.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the admission criteria?

In order to be admitted to the CIM e-MBA, each applicant should be a holder of an internationally-recognised Bachelor’s degree. In addition, you’ll need proof of work experience and of good English. The latter could mean schooling in an English-speaking country (English as first language), IELTS 6.5, or similar.

Are there any technology requirements?

You’ll need access to a computer that can accommodate the latest version of Microsoft Teams and fast and stable connection to the internet. If you have problem in acquiring the software mentioned above, please contact the Business School’s administration who will be happy to assist. 

What are the fees?

The fee for the entire degree is 6,000 euro. In addition, there’s a non-refundable 200 euro application fee.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, we will work together on a reasonable, interest-free payment scheme with you.

Can I apply for a scholarship?

Yes. Please contact us as there are a limited number of different scholarships. CIM is willing to assist students in completing their learning experience without financial obstacles.   

What is the curriculum made up of?

The entire learning process is realised remotely following a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous learning. The following learning activities are employed during the course:

  1. Recorded video and presentations (Asynchronous)
  2. Live online lessons (Synchronous)
  3. Library of written sources
  4. E-tivities
  5. Assignments
  6. Group work   
What modules will I take?

All of our e-MBAs are based on a combination of compulsory and elective modules. Please remember that all electives require a minimum number of 8 students in order to run. In addition, all e-MBAs involve a compulsory Capstone project, which you’ll complete over Terms 4 & 5.

What about assessment?

Each module is assessed and graded 100% remotely and is made up of different grading opportunities:

  1. Mid-term Assignment
  2. Final, open-book Exam
  3. Different in-class e-tivities (group and individual exercises)

The passing grade is fixed at 50% and if a student faces troubles during his/her learning period resit opportunities are offered when necessary.

Will I receive academic support?

Yes. Each student has a continuous supervision and support from the e-MBA course leader with whom there are bi-monthly meetings (more often if required by the student). The learning experience is heavily connected to a personalised support system, where custom solutions are offered to the students so as to simplify and ameliorate their learning experience.  

Do I have to reside in Cyprus?

No. Provided that this is 100% a remote course, there are no physical presence requirements. International students are not required to make proof of residency in Cyprus or visit the country. It is possible and planned that the entire programme is realised remotely. 

What is the difference between the CIM e-MBA and CIM on-campus MBAs?

The curriculum of the programme is academically very close to the on-campus degrees, but the e-MBA follows termly modules (as opposed to yearly modules). The hybrid (synchronous / asynchronous) learning experience is offering students the opportunity to acquire the same quality and quantity of knowledge with any on-campus programme. 

How long does it take?

The programme is designed to last for 5 academic terms. Its execution time is 18 months in total. If a student requires extensions or different time arrangements, this has to be discussed directly with the Course Leader and it is possible to be solved in a personalised manner. 

Will there be any network events and other social opportunities for e-MBA students?

Yes. Among others, there will be:

  1. Online induction days with possibility of physical meetings on-campus for the students who desire to visit CIM’s premises.
  2. Online meeting rooms during induction days where students can meet and exchange contact details
  3. Online and on-site seminars and guest lecturers.
  4. Physical social events
  5. Invitations to different online as well as face-to-face CIM events including the CIM Summit where leaders of industry and academia come together for meaningful cooperations.
  6. Invitations to different online as well as face-to-face events organised by partners of CIM.
  7. Group-projects aligned with industrial partners

Each student will have the opportunity to attend many events and to get to know fellow classmates, academics and industry leaders.

Will there be a graduation ceremony?

Yes. The students completing successfully their degree will receive via registered mail their degree certificate both in original as well as certified copies. Students will also have the opportunity to attend the in-person awarding ceremony in Nicosia.

How will this e-MBA boost my career?

The CIM e-MBA is internationally recognised as the most important postgraduate degree for a better future career. CIM prizes its longstanding cooperations with industry leaders that consist of future employment prospects for its students. Being part of the CIM Alumni  network opens the doors to different professional paths in management and senior management positions.
