Among the many benefits HIBMAT offers, here are the top 9 reasons you should pursue a professional career at HIBMAT.
1. Mentored by Two State Universities
For every private professional higher institute to operate, it must be mentored by a state university. This is one of the things that makes HIBMAT unique; we operate on the Anglo-Saxon style of education and under the mentorship of two giant English-speaking state universities – the very renowned University of Buea (UB) and the University of the Future, the University of Bamenda (UBa).
HIBMAT offers the two-year HND program for GCE Advanced level holders, a certification program offered only by institutions accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education. For B-Tech and MBA, HIBMAT offers these certification programs under the mentorship of the University of Bamenda, UBa while an extension of the Specific Partnership Agreement (SPA) allows HIBMAT to offer the one-year and three-year top-up B.Sc programs.
As a result of this mentorship, examination questions and certificates are validated and awarded respectively by our mentor universities.
2. Free Internship Placement for Students
At HIBMAT, we put your job prospects at the heart of our curriculum by helping you find internship placements, work experience, and voluntary opportunities across a wide variety of organizations. During your studies at HIBMAT, we scout for suitable and relevant internship placements in the town of your choice and place you in a suitable and relevant organization. For one thing, at least 3 months of internship is a prerequisite for obtaining an HND at HIBMAT.
HIBMAT has signed partnerships with various companies across Cameroon from telecommunications and banking to beverage, logistics, agribusiness, and manufacturing firms to help you find the right internship placement for you.
