Impact of CIMA exam exemptions on ones application?

I am considering making an application for the business consulting programme, although my undergraduate grants me exemptions for certain CIMA exams. How will this impact my application?

    Hi John, thanks for your interest. In your application you will just need to state your exemptions and the operations team will pick this up with you directly. This shouldn't be a problem.

    I had a question on the same topic. I looked up that CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting (CIMA Cert BA) and I discovered that through the graduate programs, we will study for the "lowest" certificate level. I will do MSc in Management, which will cover business economics and fundamentals of accounting and financial management. Would it be possible to study for a higher CIMA qualification during the Graduate program instead if my graduate program grants me exemptions for the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting?

    That is actually a really good question. I did not even notice that the programme only takes you to the certificate level, which my undergraduate already grants me.

    Unfortunately we don't offer tailored programmes depending on your obtained degree- all those on the graduate programmes study for the same level of qualification
