About the Programme

Over the last few years, SPJIMR has been pursuing unique pedagogical initiatives in the field of management education. Continuing these innovations, SPJIMR with reputed foreign universities, has introduced an exclusive program in the discipline of International Management called PGCIM (Post Graduate Certificate in International Management).

Any education in International Management is incomplete without the participant studying in an international environment. By such an environment, we mean opportunities for a participant to soak in diverse cultures by interacting with international peers, learning foreign languages and providing the participant the best international exposure. This exposure helps the participants to acquire diverse industry insights and perform better in an international business environment. Hence, the PGCIM course is structured in a very unique fashion.

The participant initially spends a part of their management studies at SPJIMR campus in Mumbai where in they are taught core management courses by the richly experienced SPJIMR faculty along with reputed professors from foreign universities. They are also immersed in the unique SPJIMR way of course delivery i.e. learning by doing, supported by the two the core values of values Influencing practice and Promoting value based growth.

Once the participants are chiseled by our ways, they are awarded PGCIM certificate. This certificate is recognized by foreign universities having tie-ups with SPJIMR, as equivalent to the initial part of their MBA/MIB. The participants can then complete their management education in foreign universities by studying in the final semester of MBA/MIB degrees offered by them.
