A Stimulating Learning Environment
Students find CIIM's environment stimulating and conducive to high performance learning. This is partly due to the uniquely friendly atmosphere, characteristic of the legendary Cypriot hospitality, and partly due to CIIM's state-of-the-art facilities, ranging from 24-hours a day, seven days a week computer facilities and wireless internet, to extensive library resources and multiple electronic information services. Students also have access to these resources and our Intranet service from their homes. Each student is also assigned an academic advisor who acts both as an advisor and as a mentor. CIIM's highly interactive approach to management education and the frequent on-campus presentations by business leaders and successful entrepreneurs, further enlivens and enriches the school's learning environment
Fun Beyond the Classroom
The informal motto around the campus is "work hard and play hard". Students are encouraged to join in on a variety of CIIM's Activity Clubs, from sport clubs to dancing, singing and wine-tasting clubs. Annually, the school holds several pool and beach parties, excursions to mountain resorts and skiing sites as well as alumni-and-student-grand get-togethers and a variety of other social activities, sporting events and competitions.
With Cyprus' rich history and fascinating culture, the world-class beaches and quaint mountain resorts, the cosmopolitan towns and picturesque countryside, the hospitable people and the exquisite cuisines from around the world, there is so much to do outside the classroom. The vibrant life of the capital, Nicosia, where CIIM is located, offers a relaxing and entertaining diversion from the intensity of our MBA programme.
A special feature is the Friday evening "happy hour" that the students share with their professors after a week's hard work.
High-Calibre Students from Five Continents
CIIM students are chosen for their strong academic credentials, diverse experience and leadership qualities. While CIIM is a highly competitive school, admitting just one in ten applicants, it is also closely attuned to what it takes to succeed in today's intensely competitive world of business. At CIIM imagination, creativity and leadership qualities count as much as academic prowess.
