Sir John Cass Business School, part of City University London, is the latest educational establishment to recognise the Cambridge English Advanced exam.
Students enrolling on the Cass Business School’s Executive MBA programme – based at Dubai International Financial Centre – can now use the high-level English exam to demonstrate that they have the language skills needed to study on post-graduate courses at this prestigious school.
The exam, developed by a department of Cambridge University, is more than just a "snapshot" of a student’s English. It is a high level test aimed at people who want to use English in academic or professional life. It is available in 130 countries and recognised by more than 3,000 universities, employers and government agencies worldwide, including many of the world’s top Business Schools.
Alice Brendel, Marketing Manager, Cass Business School, MENA said: “Cambridge English Advanced is recognised the world over as a prestigious examination in the command of the English language. The Cass Dubai EMBA continues to attract talented, multilingual students from around the world, and with lecturers flying in each month from London, a high level of English language is essential for students to get the most out of the Cass EMBA course. We are committed to maintaining the highest international standards of business education and as such are delighted to recognize Cambridge English Advanced.”
Nicola Johnson, Cambridge Assessment English’s Development Manager said: "Cambridge English Advanced will give the Cass Business School access to hundreds of thousands of students who have proved that they have an excellent command of English. As universities become more and more international, there is a real need to make sure that students have the language skills they need to cope with both academic life and in social contexts. Cambridge English Advanced gives students confidence in their English language ability which plays a huge role in successful study.”
