Hartpury University is proud to announce that its undergraduate and postgraduate business management degrees have received Dual Accreditation from the highly respected Chartered Management Institute (CMI). Recognised around the world, the CMI is a global organisation with members in over 170 countries.
Students enrolled on the BSc (Hons) Business Management will now also gain the CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership, while those studying the MSc Business Management and Enterprise will receive the CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Practice as part of their programme.
Dual Accreditation enhances the value of these qualifications, giving students not only an academic degree but also a professional diploma recognised by industry across the UK and beyond. Figures from the CMI also suggest that Dual Accreditation significantly boosts graduate employability into professional roles and can increase graduate salaries by as much as 8%. Graduate employability at Hartpury University is already high, with 97% of Hartpury University graduates in employment, further study, or other purposeful activity (Graduate Outcomes 2024).
It provides graduates with a distinct advantage in a competitive job market and opens the door to further professional recognition, including the opportunity to work towards Chartered Manager status – the gold standard of leadership excellence.
The CMI is the only organisation offering Chartered Manager status and is dedicated to promoting the highest standards in management and leadership.
Dr Polly Pick, Principal Business Lecturer at Hartpury University said: “We’re delighted to receive CMI Dual Accreditation for our business programmes. It reflects the high quality and business relevance of our curriculum, and further supports our students in becoming confident, capable leaders. This added qualification will equip graduates with both the academic knowledge and practical skills needed to succeed in today’s business world.”
