Study at CAVENDISH COLLEGE

“The CIM Postgraduate Diploma at CAVENDISH COLLEGE was the perfect

course to give me a professional edge to my academic career. The key
positive aspects of pursuing a course at Cavendish are: a multicultural
environment; friendly, highly-qualified tutors; and easy access to
management. Most importantly, Cavendish is one of the few colleges
offering the full-time CIM Professional Diploma through the assignment
route, thus giving an opportunity to work on real-life marketing situations.
Running a company back in India, the course gave me an opportunity
to evaluate my company’s current situation and enabled me to develop
marketing plans for the future. The course has given me a chance to
look at my own company from a different perspective and has helped
transform my academic learning into a practical real-life situation.”
