Mission Statement
At a crossroad between a business school and a creation school, IIM’s mission is to allow students to acquire new talents and competencies, discover their own skills, decide what their professional project can be, develop their network and get a smooth start into the job market in the digital world.
International Role
IIM international role is modest. While students have the opportunity to spend their 3rd year abroad, less than 20 % do so in practice. This is probably due to the fact that many students are also working in parallel to their studies.
We believe that joining cumulus would create more opportunities and supports the school international development.
National Role
IIM is member of 8 French associations in the digital and educational area and Emmanuel Peter is a member of the broad of 2 of them (talents du numérique and reca)

Main Focus
IIM positions itself as a multisector digital school with a professional approach. Students are strongly encouraged and supported to have professional experiences during their studies, be it by working part-time, and/or by doing internships, and working on various projects with and for industry.
Being part of De Vinci Group also allows students to work together with students from other backgrounds (engineering, IT and business). Approx 20 % of the curriculum is taught jointly with students from the sister schools.
Last but not least, IIM (and De Vinci in general) puts a strong emphasis on soft skills and sustainable development (Devinci is part of the PRME programme)

Research Activity and Main Areas

Doctorate Level Programs
IIM does not offer programmes at doctorate level. As one of the 3 De Vinci schools however, several faculty members are members of De Vinci Research Center

Subject Areas for Exchange Students
At present IIM students have the opportunity to spend the 3rd year of their undergraduate studies abroad (in most cases this international year consists of one study semester at a partners institution and in an internship in a company abroad).
De Vinci schools do welcome approx. 300 students every year though. Most of them attend courses fully taught in English at IIM sister schools EMLV and ESILV as IIM does not offer courses in English yet. Some of those students have a digital and creative background. Becoming a member of Cumulus would help to understand better those students’s needs and make them a relevant course offer.
