Fees, dates and deadlines

Those wishing to join the CIMA program as new students can do so at any time. To register as a CIMA student you must pay Tuition fees, a non-refundable registration fee, plus an annual subscription fee. In the event that you are not accepted by CIMA as a prospective student your subscription fee and Tuition fee will be refunded.

A typical joining payment for new students would be calculated as follows

Tuition Fee for first Foundation Level per paper

£250

Non-refundable Registration Fees (Once only) £41
Non-refundable Annual Subscription £68

Total

£359
Exemption Fees (if granted by CIMA) to be paid later
Examination Fees (see below) to be paid later

Please note, MCG will refund Tuition fees if you are not accepted by CIMA as a student. Tuition fees may be paid on a paper by paper basis.

Registration fees

If you register on, or after, 1 September, the subscription fee is valid until 31 December the following year.

Re-registration

If you do not pay the annual subscription fee each year, you will no longer be a registered student. You will then have to re-register if you want to continue with your studies. To do this you will have to pay a re-registration, the fee for the current year’s annual subscription and the annual subscription for the year that your registration ended together with any other outstanding fees.

Exemption fees

You do not need to send your exemption fees with your student registration form. If exemptions are confirmed, details of the required payment will be sent to you.

Exam fees

Entering the exams is a separate process. You will be sent an exam entry form shortly after registration.
