Classes for the core subjects begin midway through the Pre-International MBA sessions. From terms 1 to 3, the core curriculum consists of courses in the areas of accounting, economics, finance, human resource, leadership, marketing, operations and strategy.

In term 4, the program gives students the opportunity to personalize their learning experience. Choosing from a diverse selection of elective courses, students have an option to either broaden their perspective across multiple disciplines or concentrate towards earning a specialization.

The AIM – SCOPE

To be able to successfully complete the International MBA program, students should be able to fulfill all requirements of the AIM Student Consultants Project (AIM – SCOPE) on action consulting.

The project will involve in-depth assessment of industry and market contexts, appraisal of key issues, best practice analysis, formulation of recommendations and action plan implementation. The consulting project is a major requirement that students must complete prior to graduation. It is both practical and managerial, reflecting AIM’s tradition of developing skilled management practitioners. Students are required to obtain and organize primary data from the field and analyze organizational issues through an ‘executive level’ perspective.

The Consulting Project is designed to be a seminal experience for students and is intended to shape them into transformational leaders. The Consulting Project is intended to make students:

• discover how markets and industries are optimized
• examine and appreciate an organization’s core from the integrative and strategic perspectives on a senior executive level
• develop strategies at par with more experienced practitioners and academics
