EDUCATION Marketing course wins acclaim t: 023 9284 4888 A high number of marketing students gaining top marks in their professional qualification exams has resulted in the University of Portsmouth winning acclaim. The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), which awards professional qualifications in marketing, has commended the University for achieving excellent results. To be commended, more than five students have to achieve higher than 90 per cent in their CIM exams for their Introductory Certificate, Professional Certificate or Professional Diploma qualifications, or higher than 80 per cent in their Chartered Postgraduate Diploma exams. Tutor Karen Middleton oversees professional marketing qualifications at the University. She said: “This is absolutely brilliant news. These qualifications are a gold standard in industry and are not easy. “To have a large number of students achieving distinctions is testament to the hard work both of our students and our teaching staff. It is very heartening to see that the supportive environment we seek to engender in the Business School has delivered results.” e: [email protected] High achievers: (left - right) Aymar Dimi, tutor Karen Middleton, Chris Bartley and Craig Mole Ryde School: local - with global vision t: 01983 617970 e: [email protected] By Mr. M.
