Farook Institute of Management Studies (FIMS) has maintained a strategic academic partnership with Saxion University of Applied Sciences since 2019, strengthening its commitment to internationalization and global learning. This collaboration provides opportunities for student exchange, faculty exchange, joint research, and academic knowledge sharing, enabling students to gain exposure to international business perspectives and contemporary management practices.
A key highlight of the partnership is the active academic engagement between the two institutions. Faculty members from Saxion University have delivered courses and sessions for FIMS students, including programmes on Sustainable Business Strategies, while FIMS faculty members have contributed to academic activities at the Saxion campus. The collaboration has created a vibrant platform for cross-cultural learning, global networking, and the exchange of innovative ideas in management education.
The partnership has also resulted in several successful international conferences and research initiatives. FIMS and Saxion University have jointly organized international conferences on emerging trends in business management, circular economy, corporate sustainability, and innovative management strategies. These events have brought together academicians, researchers, industry experts, and students from different countries, fostering meaningful discussions and collaborative learning.
Research collaboration remains another significant outcome of this association. Faculty members from both institutions have worked together on international research projects and publications involving researchers from multiple countries. Such initiatives provide students and faculty with opportunities to engage in globally relevant research and contribute to the advancement of management knowledge.
