“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 why IMT vows to provide
various avenues for its students to broaden their perspectives and pursue extra-curricular
areas of interest. Various student bodies groom the leaders of tomorrow and enable
students to develop leadership skills for their futures.
Corporate Club
The corporate club provides a vital link between IMT and the companies that are
active in the UAE, the neighboring GCC countries, as well as India. This club promotes
lively interactions in the annual forum known as the "IMT Knowledge Festival". This
forum gathers members of the business community to share their experiences. This
student-managed conference is a much-anticipated annual event that brings together
a diverse group of professional, academic and student delegates from industry, the
public sector and business schools. The Knowledge Festival is a forum to exchange
ideas on important business trends.
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 are thinking 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 “Mens sana 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 badminton, tennis, volleyball, and swimming.
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 menu of cultural activities including concerts, theater, music and cinema. Within IMT-Dubai, students are encouraged to organize screenings, festivals, seminars, exhibitions and other events
for 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.
