SKIPS is bringing international flavour to the Indian business education setup
Here are a few international partnerships that SKIPS has managed to stitch together over the years
St. Kabir Institute of Professional Studies (SKIPS) is an Ahmedabad based Business School that was established in the year 2008 under the patronage of St. Kabir Group of Educational Institutes. Although the institute was born only 13 years ago, St. Kabir Group has been making a difference in the education field since 1985. It is this experience that has made it possible for SKIPS to be counted among the topmost Business Schools of Ahmedabad. What makes SKIPS stand out from its competitors is its endeavour to foster an industry-driven curriculum and innovations like dual specialization in Marketing, HR, Finance, Operations, International Business and Information Technology.
SKIPS has, since its initiation, tried to bring an international flavour to India by giving its students exposure to global management practices while maintaining relevance to their own culture and economy. Though the Indian economy stays at the heart of their PGDM course, imbibing knowledge and innovation from the international market has been a signature feature of the institution.
Here are a few international partnerships that SKIPS has managed to stitch together over the years:
• Collaboration with CII- UK
An MOU with CII-South Woodford, London, has been signed by SKIPS. The UK-based Chartered Insurance Institute was established 100 years ago and is the largest professional body in the world for individuals working in insurance and financial services, with 1,25,000 members in more than 150 countries. SKIPS students have a tremendous opportunity through this collaboration, to acquire the CII Certificate while pursuing their management education, which helps them develop core knowledge and professional skills in the finance and insurance industry.
• Collaboration with AIESEC
AIESEC is the biggest youth-run organization in the world. It is a multinational, non-governmental and non-profit organization that offers leadership development, cross-cultural internships and informal exchange opportunities for young people around the world. SKIPS’ collaboration with AISEC allows its students to develop leadership capabilities and prepare them for the highly competitive corporate market.
• Collaboration with Ajman University
For the Student Exchange and Faculty Exchange program, SKIPS has entered into a partnership with Ajman University, Ajman-UAE. Ajman University (AU) was established in 1988 as the first private higher education institution in the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf region. It is now recognized as an emerging leader on the global academic map and ranked by the QS World Ranking Survey among the top 800 universities. In order to give global exposure to its students, SKIPS has taken this decision to enrich its curriculum to foster its students’ awareness of global management practices.
• Collaboration with IIBN Business School
SKIPS has signed an MOU for the Student Exchange Scheme, Faculty Development and Curriculum Development with IIBN (International Institute of Business and Networking) Business School-St. Petersburg, Russia. Formed in 2009, IIBN is one of the leading business schools and a leading member of the St Petersburg Research Consortium, set up in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of St Petersburg (SPbCCI) and the St Petersburg Institute of Management and Law (SPIGL) in Russia. This way SKIPS manages to connect its students internationally and achieve an academic/professional experience that supports them in their future endeavours.
