Training - Masters

BIMAP is collaborating with the University of Surrey School of Managementl (SoM),
to offer post-graduate studies in the Caribbean. The year 1998-1999 was a ground breaking one for BIMAP; it launched its eagerly awaited MBA & MSc Programmes in association with the University of Surrey. This strategic alliance ensures that Barbadians and Caribbean nationals have an avenue through which they can pursue quality tertiary education without having to dramatically disrupt their personal lives or career aspirations. To further simplify the process the Institute forged an agreement with the financial institution the RBTT bank which, will provide lending assistance to interested students (provided they qualify) for the MBA & Msc programmes in addition to all other BIMAP programmes at reasonable rates.

Six programmes are currently being offered:

1. Master of Business Administration - US $15, 900
2. Master of Science - Human Resource Management - US $12, 720
3. Master of Science - Management - US $12, 720
4. Master of Science - Marketing Management - US $12, 720
5. Master of Science - Financial Services Management - US $12, 720
6. Master of Science - International Business Management (subject to demand) - US $12, 720
7. Master of Science - Health Care Management (subject to demand) - US $12, 720
