The Learning Philosophy

The education that prepares you for reality

Regardless of age, subject or focus, we learn by making discoveries by ourselves and being able to apply our new-found knowledge practically in everyday life. IHM provides you with unique opportunities to test your knowledge on an on-going basis. This is done partly through short-term tasks and partly through more extensive project work/business projects.

Depending on what programme you choose, you will put your knowledge to the test either individually or in groups, with tasks that either originate from your own company or from an industry of which you may have no previous experience. On our Advanced Vocational Education programmes, practical application takes place in cases and practical sessions at different companies, giving students the chance to apply their new-found knowledge in a real-life situation.

The pedagogical approach at IHM is based on active learning. Knowledge-gathering takes place in various stages in which students gradually advance to higher levels of knowledge. The focus is on experience-based learning with a sound theoretical foundation.

At IHM Business School, students are taught by the business community for the business community. We seek out and carefully select people with long hands-on experience of leading positions in the private sector – people who also have a sound theoretical foundation and the ability to share their knowledge and experience in a vibrant, motivational way. This means that students are taught by people who have an extensive, genuine insight into business in the modern age. Our academic staffs are not teachers in the traditional sense of the word, but rather guides or mentors.
