We’re pleased to let you know that both the CIM Diploma and Certificate have been set at a preferential rate for our alumni and current students, and are highly subsidised by the Brunel Business School. The fees are also well below those charged by external institutions, with the aim of making this additional qualification accessible to as many of our alumni and students as possible.
