New Unique Degree Program in Tanzania

1. At the Tanzania Institute of Project Management (TIPM), we are redefining the learning experience with our innovative Work Integrated Learning Environment (WILE). This groundbreaking approach bridges the gap between theoretical education and practical industry experience, preparing students for the real-world challenges they will face in their professional careers.

   What is WILE?

   The Work Integrated Learning Environment (WILE) is an educational framework that integrates academic learning with practical, hands-on experience in professional settings. This model is designed to provide students with an immersive learning experience that combines classroom instruction with real-world applications.

Key Features of WILE
