The internship program is a compulsory component of IMT’s MBA curriculum and is
scheduled during May – June every year for a period of 8 weeks. During this period,
students get the opportunity to full-time work in a company / organization in UAE
or abroad and apply the managerial knowledge and skills acquired during the course
of their studies into real business situations.
The internship is conducted on an individual basis and monitored and supervised
by IMT faculty members together with a designated company supervisor. At the completion
of their internship assignments, students will submit a comprehensive report to
the Office of IP for evaluation.
Jeff James interned with UAE Exchange says, "IMT's support for internship process to the students is immense and it makes easier for students to bag the internship offers that they're looking for. Having done an internship with UAE Exchange, I could see why the mandatory internship after the completion of 1st year is so crucial in the grooming of tomorrow’s leaders."
Shwetha Kathurwar, who worked as intern at TNT Express says, "I gained knowledge and experience on 'Induction' which was my project, also, I learnt how an HR Manager motivates and engages his/her employees."
Gina Ann Mathews who interned with Danway says, "My experience at Danway enabled the practical application of what I learnt in the classroom. I was actually able to draw parallels with many of the concepts and principles taught in class."
Mr. Ashok Visweswaran, Senior Brand Manager, Reckitt Benckiser Arabia
"Your student has clearly exceeded our expectations on all fronts: internship scope comprehension, initiative, collating information, adherence to deadlines, translating data to meaningful information and presenting us with a detailed and useful report. He displayed maturity well beyond what one would expect from an intern. We hope the experience has been useful to him and has helped him gain valuable insights into some of the elements of the Marketing function."
