Students
MAP is an exciting scheme from The Chartered Institute of Marketing that gives you higher education students on approved degree courses the opportunity to gain multiple professional qualifications in addition to your degree.
Such is the popularity of marketing that there are over 888 marketing degree courses in the UK*. This only means one thing for you- how do you choose the right course that is best for you.
Get ahead of other marketing graduates
We have introduced an opportunity for higher education students that will provide you with the competitive edge you are looking for to embark on a successful marketing career. It could also be your first step towards Chartered Marketer status which is only offered by The Chartered Institute of Marketing.
What is MAP?
MAP is a great way to get ahead of other marketing graduates in the job market. By studying a MAP accredited marketing degree you will be able to gain CIM Introductory Certificate in Marketing in your first year, CIM Professional Certificate in Marketing/ CAM Diploma in Digital Marketing in your second year and CIM Professional Diploma in Marketing in your third year. Not only will you end up with your original marketing degree but you will also have a recognised qualification from the World’s leading professional marketing body.
Improve your employment prospects
By entering the job market with a degree and a professional marketing qualification you will be one step ahead of other graduates and therefore more employable. Our marketing qualifications are recognised by 95% of employers as the one to have and are frequently featured in job specifications for example.
