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 MGI degrees also offer a unique internship in the third year of study.
