Masterclasses, ICMS TV and WeMentor on TikTok: ICMS Brings Industry Connections to YOU

Our connections are your connections, and there are many ways in which ICMS connects you to our over 1000 industry partners and industry experts.

Masterclasses, ICMS TV and ICMS WeMentor on TikTok are just three ways in which you can learn from industry leaders over and above your interactions with them at ICMS networking events and on campus.

This is all part of the ICMS The Professional Mentor ethos embedded in the ICMS ethos, aimed at supporting students in professional and personal growth.

ICMS Masterclasses

ICMS Masterclasses are held on campus regularly and offer invaluable opportunities for students to engage with their preferred industries, establish connections, and learn from industry leaders.

Via the Q&A type panel discussion, students are able to pick the brains of the best – find out how they established themselves, built their brand, and listen to advice offered on how they can do the same.

Professional development is valued and enhanced through these offerings, all essential for enhancing employability and career progression post-graduation.

With ICMS Masterclasses, students can stand on the shoulders of giants who have paved the way before them.
