Tel/fax: +44 (0) Web: THE CIC MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA) PROGRAMME SPECIALISATION ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT Cambridge International College provides a structured, three Study Year MBA Programme with specialisation on Project Management. It is designed to develop the advanced business, management, project management and administration skills which are essential for high-level and senior managers, executives, directors, professionals and leaders in today s competitive business world, and which will accelerate high-level career development. STUDY DURATION AND METHODS Prince Nayf Suhaim Hamad Al-Thani, CIC Member, Qatar Registration onto CIC s MBA Programme with specialisation on Project Management can take place on any day or date of the year; there are no fixed start dates, term-times or semesters. The unique CIC MBA Programme is structured to take account of each applicant s present level of existing qualifications and work experience. Therefore, although many people will need to proceed through all three Study Years, other people who are considered by CIC to be suitably qualified or experienced, might be granted Study Exemptions from one or more Core Subjects. The description Study Year is used as a guide only. The flexible distance-learning study method of CIC s MBA Programme allows each individual to progress at his or her OWN pace. Some people might complete a Study Year in less than a 12-month (one year) period; others might take longer. The average time taken to complete a CIC MBA Programme is 2-3 years. All Examinations will be arranged in the MBA Member s own area; it is not necessary to come to the College premises in Jersey, Britain, to sit the Examinations. Arrangements for Examinations are made only after registration onto the MBA Programme, and when the relevant stage has been reached and satisfactory progress has been made in the Programme. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Applicants must be at least 21 years of age and have either of the following entry qualifications : Academic/Professional Qualifications To be accepted for registration onto CIC s MBA Programme an applicant must hold at least Diploma or local equivalent examination passes, or other recognised Course or Program or Training/Study examination-based qualifications acceptable to and recognised by CIC. Work/Practical Experience/Seniority Qualifications The Programme recognises the value of work experience, and a minimum of three years work experience at an appropriate senior or higher level of responsibility is generally expected of applicants applying for registration onto a CIC MBA Programme based upon work experience. Many middle and senior managers, executives, directors and professionals have extensive experience but few formal qualifications, and at its discretion CIC may accept relevant managerial/business work experience as qualifications for entry onto the MBA Programme. An Eligibility Assessment is available before Registration if required; see pages 3 & 4 Saud Fareeh Al Anazi, CIC Member, wrote from Saudi Arabia: I thank CIC for the excellent education provided to me. Also, I really like the CIC Member Services Website, which enabled me to get all the information I wanted, when I wanted, in an easy way. Many thanks to the Principal and the Team at CIC, for helping me to achieve my goal! 1

Project Work can only be submitted after the Second Study Year Examination has been passed.
