Are you interested in studying for a masters degree but looking for a flexible way to do it? Right now we know it is difficult to commit to a two or three year programme when many people don’t know what they will be doing next year. Our innovative design means you can study for a masters degree while only committing to one year’s study at a time. More importantly you have complete choice over the direction of your masters degree because you choose the subject. Our Master of Business is a flexible masters degree like no other.
The Master of Business is based around a framework of seven IMI Diploma programmes - from generalist programmes such as the Diploma in Management, to programmes that focus on specific areas of expertise, such as Business Finance or Strategy and Innovation. Each Diploma programme is a nationally accredited, internationally recognised qualification in its own right – and also serves as a stepping stone to a full Masters award.
By completing any two IMI Diplomas and a Business Research Project, the candidate will earn 90 credits (the national standard for a Masters Qualification) and will be conferred the title ‘Master of Business’. These steps can be completed in as little as two years, or in up to five years - whichever suits the needs of the organisation and the individual best.
IMI's Master of Business (MoB) is an innovatively designed framework tailored to accelerate your professional development in a uniquely flexible manner.
The MoB allows you to combine ‘credit’ for completing certain IMI courses and ultimately earn an internationally recognised, nationally accredited Master of Business qualification.
Each IMI Diploma is a nationally recognised qualification, accredited and awarded by University College Cork - National University of Ireland, Cork.
IMI Diplomas are academically equivalent to a Postgraduate Certificate (Level 9) Minor Award on the National Framework of Qualifications. Every time you successfully complete an IMI Diploma course you will earn 30 masters-level credits on the National Framework of Qualifications.
By completing any two Diplomas and an IMI Business Project within a five year timeframe, you will earn 90 credits (the national standard for a Masters Qualification) and will be conferred the title ‘Master of Business’. The MoB is characterised by an intensely practical, real-world focus, and can be tailored around work and life demands to an extent unmatched by any other Masters Qualification.
In order be conferred with a Master of Business qualification, you must:
Successfully complete any one of the IMI’s suite of Diploma programmes. The following Diplomas are part of the MoB framework:
Successfully complete a second IMI Diploma of your choosing.
Successfully complete a Business Project (15,000 word dissertation). The Business Project is the third and final step in the Master of Business process.
These steps can be completed in as quickly as three years, or in up to five years – whichever suits your personal, work and learning needs best.
IMI Diplomas start each autumn and run on a modular monthly basis (usually 2 or 3 classroom days per month) for approximately 7 to 8 months (between 21-24 classroom days in total).
Over many years the Diplomas have built a nationwide reputation for excellence, based on a combination of academic best-practice, an intensely practical focus, and an exceptional degree of participant interaction. By completing an IMI Diploma you not only gain a valuable business qualification; you enhance your practical ability to make a bottom line, day-to-day impact in your organisation.
