The setting-up of IMS is an illustration of MSU's commitment at offering the critical and relevant programmes of study particularly in the areas of health and medical sciences. IMS focuses solely on the Bachelor of Surgery and Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS) programmes. Other programmes offered at IMS are Bachelor's and diploma programmes in the area of Medical Sciences.

The Graduate School of Management (GSM) and the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) offer a great range of programmes for working adults through Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma, MBA, MSc, DBA and PhDs levels covering the wide areas of health sciences, information and communication technology, business and management for those who wish to enrich their academic qualification.
The recognition of any academic institution of higher learning lies on the strength of its programmes and faculty members. While ensuring the requirements of academically qualified faculty members are being met, MSU further fortifies its brand image through the deployment of international visiting professors and institutional collaborations.

A global exposure via MSU's International Students Exchange Programme (ISEP) unit will further strengthen the graduate employability factor. Through this unit students have the options of transferring their final year studies at foreign universities which are partners of MSU. There are over 40 universities in USA, UK, Australia, Japan, South Africa, India, Eastern Europe, Indonesia and New Zealand for selection. The opportunity for continuing education at these universities provides a blend of valuable international exposure to the students.

It is concerned with a holistic student development through the incorporation of 5 major components across all curriculums. These components are; language, information technology, entrepreneurship, soft-skills, ethics and values. Until now, MSU graduates remain a popular choice among employers. A graduate tracer study conducted every year shows a ninety five per cent employability rate of graduates entering the working environment. This has, to a large extent, demonstrated the versatility of our programmes of study pursued by these students at MSU.
