The agreement will allow insurance professionals who have completed their advanced diploma in insurance from CII to be fast-tracked to an MBA in business administration from Coventry University.
Normally, Coventry students must complete three units examining leadership and management, global marketing and applied projects to gain an MBA. However, students who hold an advanced diploma in insurance from CII will only need to complete up to three modules to achieve the post-graduate qualification from Coventry.
The first 100 ACII-qualified members to sign up for Coventry University’s MBA programme will receive a £1,000 discount on tuition for the online post-graduate qualification.
“By adding a masters of business administration qualification, CII chartered members will gain a broader business understanding, which will not only aid in their day-to-day practice, but will also enhance their career prospects globally,” said Gill White, customer director of the Chartered Insurance Institute. “The CII is committed to delivering relevant learning, qualifications and assessments to enable insurance professionals to develop the skills and knowledge they need to improve the public’s financial resilience and further their own careers.”
