IMT Dubai - Community Life



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.
