Globally Recognised Credentials
Stackable certifications earned alongside the degree, so the qualification travels with you into any market you choose to work in.
Leadership & Entrepreneurship
Structured leadership practice and an entrepreneurial mindset developed through mentorship, live briefs and peer challenge.

GIIP is the Global Industry Integrated Programme — an industry-integrated track that runs alongside the MBA with stackable certifications and live projects. GIP is the Global Immersion Programme, the international component: a structured overseas itinerary of industry visits, university forums and ministerial sessions.
The programme is designed around stackable certifications earned across the two years. The exact certification list is confirmed at the start of each intake — request the current schedule from the admissions team.
The immersion is a structured overseas trip built into the programme calendar, combining industry and innovation-centre visits, university forums, CEO and ministerial sessions, and cultural programming. Destinations are refreshed each intake.
Fees vary by intake and by what is bundled into the immersion component. Contact the admissions office for the current fee structure, instalment options and scholarship guidance.
Placement support runs across five stages: skill development, internships and live projects, profile building, group-discussion and interview preparation, and end-to-end placement assistance in the final phase.
