A people’ is defined and unified not by blood but by shared memory … Deciding to remember and what

to re-member, is how we decide who we are.

College's Quality

Many of the courses at the College emphasize on sustainable work-engagement and professional development. We support students to define their engagements in terms of a sustainable work, and take them further into the professional stages in their engagements. No-one graduates unemployed.

The College believes that though a bachelor’s degree builds into students the necessary critical skills and imparts to them the information they need for a broad, general understanding of their discipline, it is really at the master’s level that students begin to engage seriously with scholarship in a precise and detailed way.  We realize that it is also the master’s level qualification that opens avenues for high-impact employment or for a serious practice.  As the rate of graduate education increases, the master’s level qualification has become a much often required qualification reflecting its holder’s advanced professional training or enhanced ability in and awareness of a more closely defined area of study. 

The College applies a variety of deductive and inductive learning methods to help participants/students (particularly those who enter our courses without a first degree) achieve a post-graduate learning and award.  Basic courses build up to foundation studies, which also upgrade into advanced studies, and then translate into a master level study.  In some situations, we would provide top-up courses to bring candidates up to undertake post-graduate level of studies.

We challenge first-degree holders to do seriously in-depth post-graduate learning to bring themselves into a professional practice. 

We have an Article of Faith that inspires, strengths and challenges our work.

At the Heart of Development Education & Professional Practice

The Life of

Work & Learn : Pre-Master and Pre-Doctoral Programmes

In the first place, this programme aims at providing critical insights for planning an engaging, cost-effective higher education.  It is also aimed at supporting or qualifying an individual  for a master or doctoral study that has a practice bend.  These are geared at raising a College faculty who are committed, creative, facilitative, and professional.  

Each participant is considered as an attached, a seconded or a placement staff at the College. The participant is expected to be familiar with (or coached in) higher education institutional life.  He/She must be capable to design or draft an action-learning project at a graduate-level quality. A participant’s work-and-learn activity is perceived at pre-master or pre-doctoral level.  One purpose is to support the individual to enrol  for a master or doctoral study with a collaborated University institution and achieve a doctoral award at the shortest possible time. 

This programme involves cohorts of between 20 and 30 participants.  Each cohort will constitute a community of advanced learners.  The objectives of the activities of each cohort will include the provision of educational resources (including study centres) for the institutional development of the College.  An individual will be permitted a period of between 12 and 24 months to participate in a cohort. 

MIUC is interested in cohort-participants who will work-and-learn around as many as possible of the following:

•Project drafts

•Professional dialogue on issues

•Research and conference papers

•Study of professional associations

•Piloting and testing specific courses

•Corporate collaborations and partnerships

•Business negotiations and financial planning

•Developing and testing specific business plans

•Piloting and testing specific institutional structures

•Proposal writing, following through, and securing funding

•Identifying and testing particular higher education learning facilities

•Identifying with the development of one or two Centres of the College

A participant may translate his/her work-and-learn activity into a permanent working desk (or a job) at a Centre for purposes of capacitating the participant’s own professional development, strengthening the growth of the Centre, and/or equipping the operational structures of the particular Centre.

Where necessary and approved, a participant may adopt one or two pupils as research assistants.  In this regard, it is expected that the participant would in turn help such research assistants to build alongside their own learning portfolios that could qualify them for recognised study awards at an appropriate level.
