CIIM Cyprus
Hi guys I am an indian already holding a postgraduate degree in marketing from Leeds University UK. Can anyone tell me the reputation of Cyprus International Institute of Management for their MBA? What are the chances of a European placement for non-EU student. It is recognized by AMBA and AACSB, but haven't seen it ranked in major rankings.

To be honest, I guess an MBA from Cyprus is not the most obvious choice for career purposes, simply because Cyprus is not a well-known location for European employers and not that many people will have heard of that CIIM MBA. Mybe it's different for special course like shipping (I do not know whether CIIM offers some kind of specialization like this). But then, it's not as expensive and competitive as top European programs like INSEAD, IESE, or London Business School...
