IMU’s Academic Council (AC) was set up as a consultative body for our Medical, Dental and BioVet programmes.
ABOUT US
Much of the success of the academic and administrative quality of the IMU’s Medical, Dental and BioVet programmes, can be traced to the expert guidance and mentorship of the Academic Council (AC).
The Academic Council Meeting is a strategic academic governance forum that brings together senior academic representatives from IMU and its Partner Medical, Dental and Vet Schools to discuss matters relating to academic quality, programme development, student progression, partnership governance and the continued strengthening of collaborative programmes.
Hosted by IMU, the meeting provides an opportunity for these Partner Schools to engage collectively with IMU leadership and academic teams, share perspectives and good practices, review key partnership matters, and identify opportunities to enhance the academic and student experience across the partnership network.
The Academic Council is composed of representatives of each of the partner medical, dental and vet schools, together with senior members of the academic and administrative staff of the IMU. It is chaired by one of the PMS representatives.
