The CISI programme will give MKU students the opportunity to study for a CISI professional qualification, before finishing their degree hence giving them an opportunity to further reinforce their professional skills which will ensure they stand out.
Dr. Christopher Mutembei, the director, Centre for Professional Development said “We are very pleased to be working with CISI on this partnership, to ensure that our graduates have the opportunity to gain professional status in the field of Banking and Investments, Wealth Creation, Capital Markets, Compliance/Risk and Operations. This will have a great impact on our student community and expose our learners to the wider professional network.”
Kevin Moore, CISI global business development director, said: “Developing our presence within Eastern Africa has always been top priority for us, and we are delighted that Mount Kenya University is CISI’s first University partner in the region. Our qualifications will help MKU stakeholders not only by equipping them with up-to-date knowledge on the financial services sector, but more importantly imbibing the importance of work ethics and professional integrity in the profession.”
Students studying at Mount Kenya University will enjoy a discount of 75% on the international examination fees listed on CISI website (see: www.cisi.org).
We therefore urge all students and professionals in the job areas of Wealth Creation, Banking, Capital Markets Compliance/Risk and Operations are to register
