Typical entry requirements

Further information

You must be a registered CIMA student or member and have attained a pass mark in all three papers at the Managerial Level of the Professional syllabus. This does not include exemptions. Pass marks at the Managerial level are recognised for papers taken from the 2005 revision of the Professional syllabus up until the present time. To be eligible for the degree, at least one of your pass marks at the Managerial level must be from a paper taken no earlier than May 2005. If you have passed the Managerial level papers, or an accepted alternative and sat the exams before May 2005 and/or been exempted from any of the Managerial level papers you may sit these Managerial level papers from the current Professional Syllabus in order to be eligible for the degree. This will not affect your exam paper pass status with CIMA. If you would like to take this option please contact CIMA.
