Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am writing regarding the partnership between Bangor University and the Institute of Bankers
of Zimbabwe, which offers a unique and innovative dual accreditation to the financial services
industry in Zimbabwe. We are excited to announce that through this partnership, an exclusive
opportunity exists for a fully funded place to be given to this prestigious programme; please
read on to find out how your employees can benefit.

The Chartered Banker MBA is designed to provide the skills that are necessary to meet the
challenges of a competitive and important global industry. At the same time, it recognises
that bankers everywhere also have professional responsibilities. The programme aims to help
build a positive culture of modern, customer-focused, banking professionalism, and is the
only one in the world that awards both a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and
Chartered Banker status upon successful completion.

Bangor University is rated the highest of all UK academic institutions for banking research
(RePec, August 2021) and top 10 in the UK for teaching quality and experience in Accounting
and Finance (The Times and Sunday Times League Table 2022). The university is also top 15
globally for sustainability (Annual UI Green Metric World University Rankings, 2022).

A wide range of banks, other financial institutions, and many other kinds of financial
professionals from across the globe have engaged with the Chartered Banker MBA since its
launch in 2011. Students from over 70 countries are studying for the qualification.   

For the busy professional embarking upon an MBA programme, the distance learning format
of the Chartered Banker MBA is another major attraction. Students can study and remain in
their jobs. The highly accessible programme has a flexible study approach that suits different
work and time zones globally and allows students to strike a balance between self-study and
practical learning. There are a range of routes available depending on the students’
qualifications and professional acumen.

In celebration of the recent alliance Bangor University are awarding one fully funded
scholarship. Please encourage your staff to take advantage of this one time offer and apply
by no later than the 17th of June 2022. The successful candidate will be announced at the
Institute of Bankers of Zimbabwe’s graduation
on the 24 of June 2022.

More generally, the programme offers corporate discount to employers that support their
staff onto the programme. For groups of 1-9 employees enrolled, a discount of 20% off the
headline fees is applied, this is increased to a discount of 25% when a group of 10 or more
employees are enrolled in the programme. This is the highest discount offered for the
programme and is secured when fees are paid upfront and in full.

If you would like further information on the programme, or to discuss the enrolment of one
or more of your employees, please contact us via email or telephone and a member of the
team would be delighted to help. Contact details: moline@iobz.co.zw/moline@baz.org.zw
or charteredbankermba.bangor.ac.uk

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely

Executive Director
