IMIA offers leadership, business and marketing courses, the awards for which are conferred by Charles Sturt University (CSU). IMIA, through its affiliation agreements with CSU, delivers these courses on CSU's behalf. The courses are therefore accredited postgraduate university courses that lead to the award of Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, Masters or Doctorate degrees, as well as short courses and workshops. Accredited university degrees, short courses and workshops can all be customised to meet the specific needs of client organisations.
Course fees include access to subject materials and lecturer support, e-library and journal research services, textbook and other reading material and participation in tele-workshops. Admission to IMIA courses can be based on the applicant’s educational history and/or work experience. With three trimesters held each year, participants could be eligible to graduate with a Graduate Certificate within approximately eight months.
All courses and workshops involve workplace application assignments that apply leading edge knowledge to on-job situations, which immediately enhances the performance of students and their organisations.
IMIA also provides strategic consulting services to organisations across the business, not-for-profit and government sectors and is involved in an active program of research, including Australian Research Council (ARC) linkage grants research with partners that include Charles Sturt University, leading Australian banks and the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics (CAPPE).
IMIA has been contributing to management and leadership development on the Australian scene since the early 1970s, when it was established to cater for the educational needs of experienced, highly mobile and geographically dispersed managers moving towards leadership roles in organisations subject to significant change.
