Oxford Business College
12-month CIM Post-graduate Marketing Programme

This Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) professional qualification consists of the CIM Professional Diploma in Marketing followed by the Professional Post-graduate Diploma in Marketing. The course duration is 12 months.

This qualification is suitable for students who wish to gain employment in Marketing at management level but who do not currently have the required work experience.

The Professional Post-graduate Diploma in Marketing is the most advanced qualification in Marketing, focusing not just on marketing strategy, but its role in general business – and the ability to make marketing accountable in organizations.

These professional qualifications not only make a statement to an employer about your commitment and stamina, but they also speak volumes about your knowledge about what has become a critical, and also more complex, area of business.

On completion of the Post-graduate Diploma, students can apply for jobs as Product Managers, Marketing Managers, Account Managers and.Product Specialists. Salaries average around 35,000-40,000 per year in most parts of the UK (and higher in London).
