“IMT-Dubai provides more than the academic foundation for successful management
careers. We strive to offer diverse sports and cultural activities that make our
students well-rounded and balanced individuals. Their leadership skills can flourish
in the student organizations that help build the strong academia-corporation bond
that sets IMT-Dubai apart.”
Dr. Farhad Rad-Serecht, Director
For IMT-Dubai, the belief that management education is much more than classroom
lectures has never been more true. This is precisely why IMT provides various avenues
for its students to broaden their perspectives and pursue extra-curricular areas
of interest. Various student committees are formed each year in the beginning to
groom the leaders of tomorrow and enable students to develop their leadership skills.
Corporate Club
The corporate club provides a vital link between IMT and the companies that are
active in UAE, the neighbouring GCC countries, as well as in India. This club promotes
lively interactions in the annual forum known as the "IMT Knowledge Festival". This
forum brings together the members of the business community to share their experiences
with the students. This student-managed conference is a much-anticipated annual
event that brings together a diverse group of professionals, academic and student
delegates from industry, public sector and business schools. The Knowledge Festival
is a forum to exchange ideas on important business trends.
The recently held ‘Media Meets MBAs’ showed how strong and cordial IMT’s relations
are with some of the big names in the industry.And this is just one of the many
events that are organized every semester so as to provide sufficient exposure to
students on where the industries for different sectors are moving as time elapses.
Extra Curricular Activities
The extra-curricular club strives to render the IMT campus livelier and more interactive.
This club is where the most energetic students devote their energies to organizing
social and cultural events to round out the student life on campus. This club’s
members think out of the box to make the campus as vibrant as possible, and who
knows, perhaps find a career option that combines corporate and cultural aspects.
Athletics
The Greek philosopher Aristotle emphasized “Menssana in corporate sanem” when recommending
that his students exercise daily to help their physical abilities develop along
with their mental facilities. In keeping with this doctrine, IMT-Dubai campus is
equipped with sports facilities including football,badminton, tennis,and volleyball.
Cultural Events
Students are encouraged to engage in cultural activities. The presence of other
universities in close proximity in Academic City provides students with a host of
cultural activities including concerts, theater, music and cinema. Within IMT-Dubai,
students are encouraged to organize screenings, festivals, seminars, exhibitions
and other eventsfor which a budget is available. The Office of Student Services
coordinates these varied activities.
Office of Student Services
The Office of Student Services provides nonacademic support and assistance to students
to help them integrate into the IMT Dubai community. The office also provides advice
for personal development and services such as housing, student activities and sports
activities. Personal counselling is also provided by qualified professionals.
IMT’s own ‘Vaudeville’,which it conducts every academic year,is a grand platform
for students to participate not only in cultural activities, but in academic events
as well-so as to provide all its students with the essential avenues to prove their
mettle.
