Bradley Emerson, Regional Director South Asia, Middle East & North Africa, at the ceremony of the MOU signing said, 'The purpose of CIMA is to ensure employability and career progression to its members and students. We at the Sri Lanka Division consciously and continuously make an effort to fulfill this purpose. An Australian MBA offered to members and exam completed students in Sri Lanka is one such initiative. We are very pleased to have The University of Ballarat Australia coming forward to offer this unique and exclusive opportunity at a very special price to our members and exam completed students."
G.Bajwa, Campus Director, University of Ballarat, Sri Lanka campus, welcomed this development and assured that CIMA graduates will be provided with the International quality education facilities and the students will be provided with a large number of course subject options to choose from, so that, they can get a specialised MBA from UB rather than a general MBA being offered locally.
