CGMA Program and Study Mode: Full-Time and Part-Time
The CGMA University Program enables you to start studying the CGMA qualification as part of your degree, whether you’re a full-time or part-time student. For part-time students, due to a reduced number of classes, it may be necessary to independently cover some of the material, and occasionally attend selected full-time classes. This ensures that every student participating in the program has the opportunity to grow and earn the CGMA qualification.
CGMA Program and Level of Study: Undergraduate and Graduate
Undergraduate students can join the CGMA Program starting from the third semester. After completing the required courses during their studies, they receive exemptions from three CGMA exams (BA1, BA3, BA4), and only need to pass one external exam - BA2 (Fundamentals of Management Accounting) - to earn the certificate. This is a two-hour computer-based test available year-round. Upon completing their undergraduate degree, students receive the CGMA Certificate in Business Accounting and may use the title CGMA Cert BA.
Graduate students may begin the CGMA Program in either the first or third semester. After completing the required courses, they also receive exemptions from three CGMA exams (E1, P1, F1), and only need to pass one external exam to complete the Operational leve - Operational Case Study. This is a three-hour case study-based exam held four times a year. Upon completing their graduate degree, students receive the CIMA Diploma in Management Accounting and the title CIMA Dip MA.
