LSBF’s MA in Finance Investment Programme Recognised by CMI
London School of Business and Finance is proud to announce the confirmed recognised mapping of its MA in Finance and Investment programme with The Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
Quoting CMI: “The MA in Finance and Investment is a flexible online master's degree delivering the skills and expertise sought by leading organisations across the globe, designed to meet the needs of existing and potential managers in all sectors of employment.
The theories and concepts examined in this programme have never been more business-critical, and our graduates will complete the programme possessing the advanced knowledge and professional attributes demanded by the world's foremost employers.”
Karina Kizhner, Managing Director of London School of Business and Finance, said: “Whilst this is the first of many, we are thrilled to continue the start of 2021 by having one of our master’s programmes recognised and mapped to CMI Professional Standard.”
The mapping to CMI Professional Standard is a testament to LSBF's commitment to its students. Something CMI commented on within their Mapping Summary was that: “The programme endeavours to provide a stimulating and intellectually demanding environment, in which students are encouraged to engage with the academic literature, case studies, and each other, whilst reflecting on their own finance-related experiences.”
LSBF is proud to be working with CMI, helping to shape the graduates of tomorrow to possess the skills, advanced knowledge and professional attributes needed and, in some cases, demanded by today’s employers.
In today’s ever-changing environment, CMI will be a lifelong career partner to LSBF’s students, giving them a competitive edge through tailored support, tools, events and resources to develop their management and leadership potential.
LSBF students will also receive a Recognised Programme Partner certificate confirming the award is recognised against the CMI Professional Standards.
