Professor Kit Jenkins, Guest Lecturer at IMI
"Over the 11 years I have been associated with IMI I am confident that it continues to provide a high quality and relevant education for those students preparing for a career in the hospitality and tourism industry."



Fieldtrip to SAP


IMI covers an all-encompassing education. As one of IMI students Luca Drago once mentioned:

"The programmes are real eye openers. We also study issues that related to our lives and the world around us. Specially the many fieldtrips really added on to the unique learning experience at IMI University Centre. The greatest thing is that they are all free, included into the school fee and so very close by."
