Educational Programmes in ICT & Utility Management

Are you ready for the challenge?

The ICT and the energy-market are experiencing ever increasing change and upheaval. Basic changes in technology and regulations are forcing companies to strive for a faster rate of innovation. The traditional telephone (which for over 100 years has been, from a domestic and economic viewpoint, the most important instrument of communication), is now being complemented by new means and methods. The boundaries between classical telecommunication and other means of Information and Communication Technology are becoming more and more blurred.

Today’s companies are forced not only to choose the right technology for the right customer, at the right time and price, but also to do this faster and more economically than their competitors. The main obstacle to overcome in this integrated business approach is in hiring and adequately training staff to fully develop companies’ human resources potential. Managers must be committed to lifelong learning and meeting the changing demands of their environment.

The international institute of management in technology (iimt) was founded in 1995 and is part of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland). Our commitment is to prepare participants for high-level management careers in an increasingly global ICT or Utility environment. The iimt Executive Programmes blend the experience and expertise of an innovative teaching team in developing participants’ leadership qualities in both domestic and international business. From the experience and expertise of an innovative faculty from Universities and industry worldwide, participants gain the analytical, functional and interpersonal skills necessary for success in an increasingly complex, global business and management environment.

The iimt offers training programmes with a specific focus on ICT and Utility Management. Supported by its partners and promoters, and with its active participation in national and international organisations, the iimt provides quality training on an international level. Its programmes combine the most recent theoretical management concepts with practical understanding, giving insights into widely different cultures and attitudes while enabling conditions in other markets to be understood and evaluated.

The iimt Executive Programmes are designed as a series of modules organised in different subject areas with one, two or three modules in each subject. The Executive MBA represents 15 course weeks in total, the Executive Diploma 10 course weeks and the Executive Certificate 5 course weeks. The programmes are organised in weekly blocks, with each block consisting of two modules. Half of the time is devoted to the acquisition of new knowledge in the subject area concerned, while the remaining time is allocated to practical work and case studies.

Flexibility in our programmes is a key element. Participants can choose the length, the starting date and the type of studies. The Executive Programmes are designed to enable the parallel pursuit of professional activity and studies. Thanks to the modular structure of the programmes, participants are given the possibility to start at different periods of the year. All study programmes can be completed part-time or full-time.

We are certain that your time at the iimt will be a rich experience and are looking forward to welcoming you into the growing iimt network of friends and professionals.
