The Mediterranean College Business School is one of the first Business Schools to be established in Greece (1977) and the first to offer an MBA, back in 1989. The BA (Hons) Business Management (Marketing) has been designed by the University of Derby, a TOP10 UK University for Marketing Studies, according to the Guardian University Guide, 2020.
This is the only bilingual programme in Greece certified by the UK CMI (Chartered Management Institute), which ensures that you’ll develop the knowledge and skills that employers seek. In addition, you become a CMI affiliate member, with access to the Institute’s electronic resources, and you also earn the CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management & Leadership.
The programme is also accredited by the UK Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), which is the leading professional body for marketers worldwide. The course content, through the CIM Graduate Gateway, ensures that you obtain the necessary marketing qualifications required in the marketplace. The CIM Certificate in Professional Marketing is a highly sought-after qualification and the programme enables you to be exempt from a wide range of exams required by the Institute.

A live consultancy project, where you help an employer to improve business performance, will build your research, project management, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
Assessment is mainly via coursework which can take forms such as essays and reports, group project work, research and consultancy projects, presentations, posters, design of digital materials, in-class tests, and computer-based assessments.
