OBJECTIVE: GLOBAL LEADER IN HIGHER EDUCATION

DISTANCE LEARNING
For a number of reasons many students are unable to attend regular classes. For all these people CIM (BVI) has since the 1980s been offering distance education or as it is widely known Distance Learning (DL).
The European Union specifically makes mention to this form of study in the 1994 Maastricht Treaty, Article 126 which deals with education “to encourage the development of distance education”. CIM(BVI) is part of a European – wide network of Institutions specializing in Distance Learning Education and is an active member of The European Distance Education Network (EDEN), the European Association for International Education (EAIE) and the International Society for Business Education (ISBE).
