CIME Academic Partner

Bachelor of Management 'International Business' major has partnered with CIME (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants).

Now International Business students have exemptions for four CIMA exams that are required for a CIMA Professional certificate. This certificate offers a significant advantage during the selection process for an internship or employment at leading Russian and international companies in Russia and abroad.

The existence of such exemptions for CIMA exams is a plus for job seekers on the Russian labour market. Large companies are looking for candidates with CIMA certificates or with passed exams, i.e. “in progress” status. Usually, these firms indicate it as a requirement for prospective employees. For example, leading Saint Petersburg telecommunications, FMCG and mining firms are looking for such staff. In addition, big4 firms require a professional certificate. So landing a job in such sector will be made much easier if the applicant has passed some of the certification exams. Moreover, students will get access to a global vacancy database CIME: CIMA MY JOBS.

This certification is helpful beyond the finance and accounting. It provides profound knowledge for business analysts, project managers, risk managers, as well as for middle management staff. The development of a base for passing exams for professional certificates at HSE St. Petersburg is an important action for students’ career support.
