The Institute is registered with the Department of Higher Education (registration certificate no 2004/HE07/003) and offers Certificate, Diploma, Masters and PhD programmes in the Management of Technology and Innovation accredited by The Council on Higher Education.

The positioning of the programmes in the management of technology and innovation reflects a conscious decision to develop a South African skills profile that goes way beyond the traditional business school approach in which operational and business decisions are justified from a financial standpoint.

The critical cross-field outcomes indicate that students acquire the ability to:

• identify and solve problems
• work effectively with others as a member of a team/group/organisation/community
• organise and manage oneself and one’s activities responsibly and effectively
• collect, organise and critically evaluate information
• communicate effectively using visual, mathematics and language skills in the modes of oral and written presentations
• use science and technology effectively and critically (showing responsibility towards the environment and health of others)
• demonstrate an understanding of the world as a related set of systems
