June 2009

Welcome to Velocity.

Our first ever survey of student salaries reveals people studying CIMA as masters of their own destiny - confidence levels are high. It also shows just how globally mobile students are. Up to 21% of students who took part in the international research indicated that they would like to migrate in the next two years.

For many, salary will play a part in their decision about where to move to. The survey reveals that the global salary hot spots are Dublin, London and Johannesburg, where students at the TOPCIMA level are commanding a salary of €51,184, £33,838, or R324,000 annually.

Another important global trend is finance transformation and the move towards business partnering. As our article on the subject shows, students see business partnering as a great opportunity and are keen to take on the challenges it presents. Find out more in our careers section.
