Reims Management School (RMS)

The learning methods, used in the IMBA, take into account the requirements involved in training professionals. It considers their maturity and potential and at the same time strengthens their decision-making capacity in a sometimes difficult international environment where resources are scarce. It also re-enforces their ability to work as a team.

That is the reason why the IMBA has definitely chosen to adopt an active learning, focused on problem solving and case studies.

Specific methods aimed at preparing people for their professional life

Interactive learning schemes

The IMBA methods privilege practice, real life situation and the acquisition of methodology through techniques that are both active and adapted to professional life.

The pedagogical format of seminars is based on interactive learning methods commonly used in companies and adapted to fast and durable learning: Problem Based Learning (PBL).

The principles of Problem Based Learning

Each theme is approached from the point of view of the critical situations that can result from it and the possible and desirable technical and behavioural answers.

The objective is not the sole skill learning, but the training to formulating and implementing strategy adapted to a wide variety of issues.

From individual to collective learning

The IMBA is based on 3 types of learning:

• Individual learning with directed personal word
  
• One-to-one learning with coaching and personalized follow up
  
• Group learning with team work and lectures
  

The key role of the student community in the learning process

The IMBA is a very thorough and comprehensive learning programme, which requires a large amount of individual learning, but even more learning with and through other people.

Most work situations thus require working efficiently as a team, which is an essential part of the training.

Every possible things are done to create a favourable environment for the learning group (reserved working spaces, adapted schedules, etc) thus enabling exchanges and mutual enrichment.
