Le Groupe Institut Africain de Management is an international private university founded in 1996, with its headquarters in Dakar, Senegal. Its ambition to meet international standards is guided by its core principles: academic excellence, innovation, entrepreneurship, and international openness.

IAM aims to be an institute that provides its students with the knowledge, skills, and expertise they need to succeed in integrating into companies across various fields of management and to sustainably develop their talents within them.

L’Institut supérieur de Management et de l’Entrepreneuriat  connu sous le sigle  IME s’associe à une initiative rassemblant des universités du continent africain, sous le nom d’un nouveau réseau intitulé RAMSESS. Cet acronyme correspond en réalité à : Réseau Africain pour la Mobilité Scientifique des Etudiants Sud-Sud. Ce réseau est une union prestigieuse et sélective de membres composée d’universités et écoles supérieures africaines. Cette initiative encourage le renforcement de liens et reconnaissances mutuelles entre l’Afrique du nord et l’Afrique Subsaharienne, dans le cadre de l’enseignement supérieur et la recherche scientifique en Afrique ; mais aussi à la mobilité étudiante, comme enseignante et administrative.

The Institution was founded by Dr David Richard Namwandi, first as a non-degree awarding body. On 26 October 2002, it obtained University status when it was officially launched by the then state president of the Republic of Namibia, His Excellency Dr Sam Nujoma. The university is fully accredited by the Namibia Qualifications Authority and the National Council for Higher Education(NCHE).

The International University of Management (IUM) has its roots in the Institute of Higher Education which was founded in 1994 and is a sole Namibian initiative that started with one student and has now grown into an institution whose student population is currently more than 9,000.

The intellectual and vocational bases of the university are firmly rooted in Management and ICT. Since its inception, the university has gained recognition as a centre of excellence for the teaching of Management Science and ICT disciplines at all levels.

While these disciplines remain the university’s anchor, plans are afoot to diversify its offerings at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the not too distant future in order to address different economic needs of management in Namibia. In addition, the university has carried out numerous consultancies on behalf of both the private and public sectors in Namibia. IUM was officially launched as the first private university in Namibia on 26 April 2002 and its Hi-Tech campus at Dorado Park in Windhoek was inaugurated on 26 April 2011.

The purpose of the university is to educate and train young managers of the future; the young managers who will go out into the world and help to generate work and wealth in those sectors of society where there is most need, demand or opportunity.

The School of Business and Economics started as the Department of Accounting in the year 2000 with 40 students and offered Certificate and Diploma courses in accounting, Business management, secretarial studies, sales and marketing and information technology. These were professional courses that lasted 3-6 months and were not sustainable. This led the department to develop and mount long term courses which included a diploma in Business Administration and Diploma in Banking and Finance amongst others.

Then the students performed exemplary in the national and international examinations which in turn translated to attracting many students. In the year 2004, Thika Institute of Technology, formally Thika School of management studies, which housed the department of Accounting entered into collaboration with Jomo Kenyatta University of Technology to offer degree programs. And this bore the Bachelor of Commerce Course.
