Entry routes to CIMA

The CIMA professional qualification is for anyone with the drive and desire to succeed in business.

If you’re new to business or accounting studies, you will first need to work towards gaining the CIMA certificate in business accounting. This will then enable you to move on to the CIMA professional qualification.

For those who have previously studied business/accounting you may be entitled to exemptions or there may be an alternative route to entry for you.

From the certificate in business accounting, to the MSc in strategic management accounting to the MBA and masters in accounting gateway, CIMA offers a number of routes to entry to the professional qualification at a pace to suit your lifestyle requirements and commitments.
