MGI offers accredited degree and diploma programmes in the creative arts and communication fields.
Relatively small classes ensure individual attention whilst programmes are designed to equip graduates with the necessary expertise to pursue successful careers within a professional environment.

MGI practices an integrated system of assessment where students are assessed on an ongoing basis during their study careers. Programmes are offered in English and are externally examined and moderated by well-qualified academics of public higher institutions and industry practitioners. Programmes compare favourably with similar qualifications offered elsewhere and are selected, designed, and developed to provide an education that meets the demands of prospective employers, enabling graduates to enter the workplace immediately after qualification. The curricula can be adapted to meet specific career needs and interests, allowing students to further their studies at other local and international universities, colleges
and schools. 

In addition, MGI programmes have a guest lecturer component that provides students with the opportunity to interact with experts in the field. Most degrees also offer a unique internship in the third year of study. Students get exposure in the field before graduating and starting their careers as MGI helps students to get placed as interns at companies in their chosen fields.
