The reason we call our Institute The Cyprus Institute of Marketing (BVI) is not because we only offer marketing programmes; as a matter of fact, we offer many diverse programmes,including Shipping, Banking, Insur-ance and many others (see MBA pro-grammes). We chose this name be-cause we firmly believe that all areas of business activities should have a marketing orientation. What is the use of having a well organised Bank-ing corporation if it has unsatisfied customers? The same applies in the case of a Shipping or an Insurance company.

The demand for professionals with advanced qualifications is rapidly in-creasing throughout the world. The knowledge available to modern indi-viduals is compounding at an astro-nomical rate and professionals who have only been out of College for a few years are often “out-of-date” with new technology, new social responsi-bilities and contemporary ideas. Con-tinuing education is virtually manda-tory for success.

We recognise, of course, that it is not easy to study while pursuing a career, meeting various family needs and taking necessary leisurely time off. The CIM BVI MBA programmes are designed to fit within these many de-manding parameters, to provide you with much-needed educational ex-posure and society-demanded recog-nition for study, all within the frame-work of your personal circumstances.

Flexibility is certainly a key ingredient to the CIM BVI Programmes. When you are accepted to the Institute you are deemed to be a mature adult, re-sponsible for your own success. Thus, our programmes are designed to adapt to your career, to permit self-pacing towards academic achieve-ment and to build a sense of tangible self-accomplishment.

the MBA programmesMBA is an abbreviation for Master of Business Ad-ministration. Amidst growing economic globali-sation, an ever-increasing number of companies and organisations require top managers to have an MBA degree. Today, the MBA has become a

title which characterises academic and profes-sional achievement in a specific subject area, such as, an MBA in Banking, Shipping or Insurance.

The Cyprus Institute of Marketing (BVI) MBA programmes are action oriented and are designed to accelerate the managerial and leadership develop-ment process in various disciplines.

With an MBA a knowledge of manage-ment skills and operating techniques is developed.

Management in both the private and public sectors requires the highest level of relevant training along with vi-sion, analytical skills and the ability to implement far-reaching decisions. The MBA programmes stimulate stu-dents to look beyond the narrow boundaries and horizons for higher level career planning.

T h e C y p r u s I n s t i t u t e o f M a r k e t i n g ( B V I ) M B A

The MBA programmes offered by our Institute are designed for practising managers with previous relevant edu-cation, training and work experience, who are required to make a major con-tribution to the policy of their organi-sations.

The particular focus of the programme is to enable a manager to operate at a strategic level and to manage effec-tively within a complex and uncertain environment.

The close links which have been estab-lished with the industry, commerce and the public sector have contributed to the development and design of theseprogrammes. This means that students will by the end of the course possess the knowledge and skills of their sub-ject matter in a practical and profes-sional way.

T H E S I S

The 10.000-word thesis is a major part of the MBA and a student not submitting an up-to-standard thesis will not be awarded the MBA. The thesis must be submitted by the completion of the MBA programme and the Re-search must be based on the specialisation of the par-ticular MBA Programme e.g. For MBA Shipping the The-sis Research must be based on Shipping. Students are encouraged to begin thinking about the area of concen-tration long before the completion of the programme. The Thesis must be on a topic agreed with the student’s Tutor and should have a research bias.

T h e s i s P r o p o s a l

A Thesis proposal must be submitted to the Tutor long before the end of the MBA programme on a special form provided by the Institute. A manual for the preparation of the Thesis is also provided to the student by the In-stitute.

T h e s i s P h i l o s o p h y

The basic philosophy of the Thesis revolves around the identification of an issue or problem relevant to the MBA programme, which merits investigation. The re-search should involve collection and analysis of original data or analysis of existing data in an original way and should make a contribution to the specific area under investigation.

T h e s i s S u b m i s s i o n

The Thesis must be submitted in a bound copy accom-panied with the MBA Evaluation Form and the appro-priate fee. If upon submission the Thesis is not of an acceptable standard then students need to re-submit their Thesis within two months and pay an extra re-submission fee. This is the last chance and if the Thesis is found unsatisfactory again then the student cannot be awarded the MBA. In such a case the student must register again, pay a registration fee and prepare a new Thesis on a fresh subject agreed between the student and his/her Tutor.

A THESIS IS A PREREQUISITE FOR ALL MBA PROGRAMMES

21. MBA - ISLAMIC BANKING & FINANCE

The key feature, or principle, that distinguishes Islamic banks from any other kind of banks is the rejection of interest-based financial transactions.

Islamic scholars believe this system is superior on sev-eral counts. It leads to more prudent lending, they say, by encouraging financiers to invest directly in an entre-preneur’s ventures.

Discussions relating to Islamic finance invariably draw comparisons between “Islamic” and “conventional” financial practices. There is a comfortable sound to “conventional” and a slight pejorative ring to “uncon-ventional”.

Against such a background, there are many who see Is-lamic finance as a possible way forward to a brighter and more socially responsible future. Today, there are more than 200 Islamic financial institutions spread across the Middle East and beyond. They include banks, mutual funds, mortgage companies, insurance companies.

The dramatic growth of Islamic finance over the last two decades is one of the more striking phenomena in international banking.

This program will be of enormous benefit to anyone wishing to associate with this dynamic discipline.
