Philosophy
The stakeholders, communities and the government are all overwhelmed by the state of planning, implementation and management work that has to be done effectively to execute programmes and preventive projects to curb the HIV and AIDS pandemic. Institutions of Higher learning have not embarked seriously on training HIV and AIDS management. Thus, the International University of Management by establishing HIV and AIDS courses at Degree levels fills this gap.
The HIV and AIDS educational programmes will produce personnel that can deal with the complexities involved in managing HIV and AIDS while the search for cure goes on. Such management requires a comprehensive response framework that includes theoretical, cognitive and practical skills that only a centre of higher learning can provide.
