A word from your tutor
E3 sets the frame the whole Strategic level argues inside. It is less about calculation and more about being able to take a position and support it, which is a genuine change of gear from the Operational and Management levels.
The course leans into that: the lessons work through how to take a position and support it, and the explanation behind every mock question shows why one answer beats another.
Get comfortable here and the Strategic Case Study becomes a much shorter journey.
The syllabus
E3 Strategic Management develops your ability to think at board level. You'll study competitive strategy, strategic options, change management, and digital strategy - learning to advise on where an organisation should go and how to get there. It's the most strategic of all CIMA subjects.

The Strategic Level
E3 is one of the three Objective Tests on the CIMA Strategic Level, with P3 and F3. CIMA lets you sit them in any order, and the SCS once all three are passed.
