With the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Accredited Degree

Vilnius University Business School (VU BS) offers the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Accredited Degree. Students at VU BS are able to gain CIM exemptions whilst studying for their „Digital Marketing“ degree. In addition to graduating with a degree, students studying „Digital Marketing“ are able to gain industry-recognized qualifications at an accelerated pace. VU BS has developed strong links with CIM and the “Digital Marketing” teaching content has been developed alongside CIM’s learning outcomes to ensure that course content is aligned to industry requirements.

Maureen Wincott, Learner Partnerships Manager at CIM, says: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Vilnius University Business School. Students now only need to pass one module to complete the CIM Certificate in Professional Marketing or Professional Digital Marketing or two modules to complete the CIM Diploma in Professional Marketing or Professional Digital Marketing. This will help students to progress their marketing careers and fast-track their development.

We look forward to continuing to work closely with Vilnius University Business School to help students achieve their professional goals and gain the recognition that is valuable with employers in the marketing and business industries.”

„International Project Management“ master‘s study program is registered in the IPMA (International Project Management Association) Education Program list:  REG Home - IPMA

This makes the „International Project Management“ master‘s study program, the only such program registered in the IPMA Education Program list in Lithuania and in the Baltic countries.

This international evaluation recognizes that the program offers a wide range of competences, which are defined by the IPMA International Competence Baseline.

This enables the students to collect IPMA hours of continuing professional development (IPMA CPDs) by participating in our registered „International Project Management“ master’s study program and gain global recognition. 

IPMA CPD Record & Proof of Participation is an internationally recognized credential of participation given to participants by IPMA after attending a registered program that assigns them a certain number of CPDs. CPDs are aligned with the national IPMA Certification Body in Lithuania and ensure that participants meet the requirements for professional certification in the field of project management.

In addition to the CPD Record & Proof of Participation, graduates of the „International Project Management“ master’s study program, also receive an IPMA REG digital badge which they can share on social media via my.ipma system (eg. LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) or as a signature in their emails. 

Digital badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what graduates had to do to earn their credential and what they are now capable of, as well as make it easier for individuals to track their career development.

Currently VU BS holds the ACBSP Candidate for Accreditation status with all undergraduate and postgraduate study programs.
