As the American University of Iraq-Baghdad (AUIB) works tirelessly to develop its academic programs, benchmarking against the best of international standards, the university’s College of Business (CoB) has marked a new milestone, with its Marketing program achieving accreditation from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).
Dean of CoB, Professor Hassan Yazdifar, commended the “strategic initiative, hard work, and dedication” of Associate Professor of Marketing at the College, Dr. Tamer Awad, as well as the support of College faculty and staff, for achieving this accreditation that brings significant benefits to CoB students and graduates, facilitating their obtainment of internationally recognized professional credentials and affording them access to learning resources, insights from practitioners, and professional networking opportunities through the Institute’s Marketing Club. These benefits will help strengthen CoB graduates’ competitiveness in Iraq’s employment market and support their pursuit of career opportunities internationally.
As confirmed by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), AUIB is the first, and currently the only university in Iraq to hold CIM Accredited Degree status for its Marketing major, giving the university an exclusive distinction in the country. CIM hence recognized CoB’s capacity to guide and support other institutions in Iraq in developing their programs towards accreditation. CoB will build on this success as it continues to develop and refine its programs and expand its network of professional partnerships.
