Applications should be made as early as possible as places are limited on all programmes.
Students can normally complete each programme in one year.
As the DMU programme is modular and subject to availability, students are allowed the join the course at the start of any module. We recommend, however, that best results will be obtained by starting to study in either September or February. The programme has been developed to prepare students for the Diploma examinations of the CIM and to help to develop their effectiveness in their working environment. Mindful of the many demands on the time of the busy professional, a flexible programme of modules has been developed, generally running for seven consecutive weeks, which combine one evening per week's attendance at the Business School with substantial structured home and group study materials, to be completed by students at times and places within the week to suit their schedules. Students holding non-business degrees will be required to complete the postgraduate Advanced Certificate in Marketing course, and pass at least two of the four exams before progresssing onto the Diploma programme.
