What programmes and diploma specialisations does TIMI offer?

Updated

TIMI (The International Management Institute), based in Brussels, offers two tracks of study: non-residential programmes and full-time residential programmes. The non-residential side covers management diplomas and degrees plus four specialist diplomas (Digital Marketing, Robotics, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence); the residential side, based in Brussels, covers management degrees and a one-year entrepreneurship diploma. The main differences to weigh are duration, level, and whether you study in Brussels or not.

Non-residential programmes

These are listed under "High Impact Career Advancing Non-Residential Programmes" and include:

Programme What the site says about it
Global Diploma in Management (UGDM / PGDM) A six-month Diploma in Entrepreneurship described as aimed at equipping students with the skills to become a great manager
Under Graduate / Post Graduate Degree in Management An eleven-month programme; the site highlights that anyone above 20 years of age can apply
Diploma in Digital Marketing Marketing of products or services using digital technologies — internet, mobile phones, display advertising and other digital media
Diploma in Robotics An interdisciplinary branch combining mechanical, electronic, information and computer engineering, computer science and others
Diploma in Data Science A multi-disciplinary field using scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge from structured and unstructured data
Diploma in Artificial Intelligence Framed as part of the fourth industrial revolution, with advances affecting health, logistics and other industry areas

Note the naming on the site: the six-month entrepreneurship diploma sits under the "UGDM / PGDM Global Diploma in Management" heading, while the separate "Under Graduate / Post Graduate Degree in Management" entry is the eleven-month programme. If duration matters to you, confirm which credential you would actually receive before applying.

Full-time residential programmes (Brussels)

These are described as "Based Out of Brussels":

  • European Diploma in Entrepreneurship — a one-year diploma in entrepreneurship.
  • Post Graduate Degree in Management — a one-year programme spread over 1,512 hours and 504 (the excerpt cuts off here; the unit is not stated).
  • Under Graduate Degree in Management — described as the only programme offered by TIMI for the student community in general after (text truncated).
  • Post Graduate Diploma in Management — listed, with details cut off in the available excerpt.

How the two tracks differ

The clearest documented differences:

  1. Location: residential programmes are based in Brussels; non-residential ones are not.
  2. Entrepreneurship duration: six months non-residential versus one year residential.
  3. Management level: the non-residential degree is eleven months and open to applicants above 20; the residential postgraduate degree is one year with a stated 1,512-hour load.

The site also ties the Brussels location to proximity to the European Union Headquarters and NATO, which it says exposes students to a transnational perspective. That is a positioning claim, not a programme requirement.

What to check before deciding

  • Credential type: the site uses "diploma" and "degree" for different entries; confirm which one a given programme awards.
  • Full programme details: several residential entries are truncated in the available page text, so request the e-brochure or use the enquiry form for hours, intake and eligibility.
  • Fees: the site navigation includes a "Fee" link, but no prices appear in the available material — do not assume any programme is free.
  • Admission route: the site separates applications for non-residential and residential programmes, so apply through the correct one.

If your goal is a specialist skill (marketing, robotics, data, AI), the non-residential diplomas are the direct match. If you want an immersive year in Brussels with an entrepreneurship or management focus, the residential track is the relevant one.
