IUM is a listening and ever-evolving institution, dedicated to providing industry-relevant qualifications that drive national economic growth and enhance societal well-being. One of the most escalating global issues is the management of climate change, a challenge that requires innovative and sustainable solutions to ensure a resilient future.
