Partner Universities

A Higher Education Institution can support and develop its staff and students by working with ILM as a partner university on:

Endorsed and development programmes

Gain ILM recognition for your leadership and management, coaching or enterprise programmes to support your employer engagement initiatives.  Differentiate your programmes with the added value of a link to a leading leadership and management professional body. 

Learners on endorsed and development programmes will also get one year’s free studying membership which will increase their employability. 

ILM dual outcome

Your learners can study for and achieve an ILM qualification at the same time as they work through their university course.

ILM is the market leader for vocational qualifications in leadership and management, with 90,000 candidate registrations last year, and is widely recognised by employers as delivering the key practical skills that benefit their business.

Dual certification enhances the employment prospects of  university graduates, by signifying to employers that they possess practical leadership and management skills that are immediately relevant to the workplace.

Again, this option includes one year’s free studying membership.

Fast-track to ILM Fellowship

Build relationships with your alumni by making ILM’s prestigious Fellowship grade available to your business school graduates at a specially discounted rate.  They must have at least 5 years senior management experience, so this is most likely to appeal to your mature students.  

Discounted ILM membership for university staff

Teaching and non-teaching staff benefit from discounted annual subscriptions on ILM membership.
