Harris Manchester College (HMC), University of Oxford, UK

Another committed proponent of life-long learning, Harris Manchester College (HMC) is one of Oxford’s smallest constituent colleges of the University of Oxford, UK. It is well known as the hub for providing second chance opportunities at higher education for both undergraduates and post-graduates aged above 21 years. They come from different backgrounds and countries attracted by the chance to rethink their possibilities about what they wish to do next as they set out to their different life paths.

HMC has a rich background of heritage that dates back to 1757 when it was founded in Warrington and in 1893 it moved to Oxford. Then known as the Warrington Academy, the college was renamed Harris Manchester College after its generous benefactor, Lord Harris of Peckham. In 1996, HMC was granted a Royal Charter making it the 39th College of the University of Oxford. One of HMC’s famous tutors was Joseph Priestley, who went on to become the man who discovered oxygen.

Research is one of HMC’s strongest pillars and forms the basis of all that the college does as the dispenser of knowledge. The college is home to several reputable research centers, including the Commercial Law Centre and the WellBeing Research Centre. At the heart of it is HMC’s dedication to excellence designed to educate, nurture and equip the students so they may graduate to make a real difference in their own lives and impact society at large through their contributions. 

Located right in the center of scenic Oxford, HMC offers a wide range of course programmes including Economics, English, History, International Relations, Law, Management Studies, Political Science and many other modern studies. The college is also well known for its brand of executive education modules with the emphasis on content cooperation projects that enable learners from Malaysia and elsewhere to acquire dual awards, an advantage that will give them the extra edge in the job markets anywhere in the world. 

As a premier UK college of higher education, HMC is partnering with other institutes from all over the world to give young people of all ages the opportunity to arm themselves with the latest knowledge, skillsets and thinking processes to face the 4IR revolution that is already defining the industry and lifestyles of tomorrow. 

Harris Manchester College boasts a student body of approximately 200 students and, as a small teaching school compared to its iconic parent, the Oxford University of UK. The college focuses on quality where every student is accorded the close attention they deserve from their teachers throughout their stay at the campus. 

Jane Shaw, the Principal of HMC, is confident that “As technology rapidly shifts the employment landscape, we know that many will want to rethink their careers and retrain, and we are ready to support them in that educational quest.”

Aimsmet Global is one such partner university working closely in collaboration with Harris Manchester College to give young Malaysians a well-deserved opportunity to reinvent their future.

Collège de Paris, France

When one thinks of France, one tends to think about champagnes, music, foods and the whole lot. France is also one of the world’s top education hubs. To be able to become an academic partner of the Collège de France is an achievement of sorts. 

Formerly known as the Collège Royal or Collège impérial, the institution of higher learning is ironically located in the heart of Paris, the French capital, just across the street from the equally illustrious La Sorbonne campus. Founded in 1530 by François I, Collège de France’s motto is to teach “the knowledge that is being built up in all fields of literature, science and the arts.” Living up to its name, the research-based college while offering modern business programmes to learners from all over the world. Interestingly as of 2021, 21 Nobel Prize winners and 9 Fields Medalists have been affiliated with the Collège de France.

Today, Aimsmet Global is working closely with France’s most prestigious research establishment for the sake of educational excellence. In keeping with its international openness, Collège de Paris offers its flagship programs in English. Some of their courses include Bachelor in Business Administration, Master in Digital Management of Tourism and Hospitality, Masters in Information Technology and Masters in International Marketing among professional programmes. 

Collège de Paris has designed agreements and conventions with academic institutions in France and abroad, including Aimsmet Global, Malaysia. The partnership enables Aimsmet students to be awarded double degrees thus enhancing the value of their certificates.

By working with Collège de France, Aimsmet’s International Executive Masters in Business Administration (IEMBA) takes on added prestige and recognition in the business and commerce industry. This is a globally recognized industry-driven program that focuses on Leadership in Business, Best Practice Operation and Developing Executive People Skills. With the IEMBA, the graduate is amply certified to enhance his organization’s capability and capacity building and raise it to a whole new level. 

The IEMBA programme is mainly designed to allow learners to specialize in general management, project management, applied psychology and digital transformation. Successful candidates will graduate with an International Executive Programme in Business Administration (Level 7) awarded by Asia Metropolitan University. They can also opt to graduate with a dual award IEMBA from the Collège de France; allowing the holder to practice his craft anywhere in the world due to dual recognition.

The motto of the Collège is Docet Omnia, Latin for “It teaches everything”; its goal is to “teach science in the making” and can be best summed up by the French philosopher, Maurice Merleau-Ponty: “Not acquired truths, but the idea of freely-executed research” which is inscribed in golden letters above the main hall.
