CIMA members who meet Henley's entry criteria (see below) will gain over 50% exemption from the Henley MBA. Henley's commitment and relevance within business today provides an excellent match for CIMA members eager to continually develop within executive senior management roles.

salaaaam all;

i ve also read this info abt Henley's MBA program on the website of CIMA. i want to ask one thing, especially from senior members.

in pakistan, the MBA programs offered by almost all the institutes include the accounting courses also, eg, financial acc., cost acc., managerial acc., plus some other basic courses in finance, mgmt. etc tht build the foundation for good understanding of advance courses. u know, students in MBA r from very different professions n academic backgrounds. so these courses help them in better understanding, n assimilate these differences by harmonizing their skills in these basic areas of management.

but in the MBA program of foreign institutes, eg, this Henley business school etc., these basic courses r not available. some of the courses r of advance-level also. i mean, without going through accounting courses, n basic business finance course, how will a student understand "managing financial resources" course offered in Henley program???

plz clarify me abt this confusion. thanx.
