MIANZ INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE

About Us

MI College previously known as IIPD, began its journey on the 20th of July 2006. The motto of MI College is "Inspiring Excellence".

The International Institute for Professional Development (IIPD), began its journey on the 20th of July 2006 in the name of the International Centre for Career Development (ICCD). The journey began with 19 students, two classrooms with one permanent faculty (the co-founder) and two part-time lecturers. With the approval of a few certificate courses by Maldives Qualifications Authority (MQA), Cambridge International Diploma in Business and English Language courses ICCD had started to grow.

As the student population increased so did the faculty and in 2009, ICCD campus was moved to a bigger campus and the name ICCD was changed to International Institute for Professional Development or IIPD. Similar to ICCD, IIPD too is under the company Mianz Pvt. Ltd. The name of IIPD was approved by Margareta Funder, the Manager of ITC, It is no more a career development center as it became Professional Development Institute. IIPD became a Franchise of the largest training company in India the Aptech Computer Education. With this, IIPD opened another campus for IT education in Male’.

Within three years, the number of courses offered at IIPD increased and student numbers grew significantly. Using the opportunity to grow and diversify, IIPD expanded its reach into the islands. IIPD was finally ready to get College status. In preparation, the infrastructure and academic strength was vastly improved and the required documents were developed by the collaborative effort of the Senior Management Team lead by the CEO Mr. Mottaki and Principal Mr. Nizam. The application was prepared and submitted to the Department of Higher Education by Mr. Nizam. After a thorough inspection by the Department of Higher Education, IIPD was awarded college status on 21st April 2014. The new college was named Mianz International College, commonly known as MI College. Dr. Aamaal Ali, was appointed as the Rector of the College.

MIC continues to grow and at present has 17 branches across the Maldives. The student enrollment has grown to over 1800 students and the staff strength has grown from a mere 80 in 2014 to 150 staff across the country. This is in line with the College’s goal of increasing the opportunity for higher education and empowering the younger generation.
