Relationship between Trust Academy and Midlands State University
Trust Academy has an Associateship and Affiliateship relationship with Midlands State University (MSU). Hereunder we give brief definitions of the two terms for the sake of easy understanding and clarity.
Definition of terms
Associateship
An associate institution (in this case Trust Academy) seeks to obtain the participation of the university in its work, including the setting and monitoring of its standards as well as the examination and certification of its students. The graduates of the associate institution get the Diplomas of the university in the programmes that are included in the associate relationship (the programmes are shown in the advert)
Midlands State University
Affiliateship
An affiliate institution is one which seeks to participate in the work of the university in either research, teaching or both. The students of the affiliate institution get the Degrees of the university in the affiliated programmes only. Currently Trust Academy offers Bachelor of Commerce in Information Systems (Bcomm IS). It is offered only through our Harare campus with online lessons available for those outside Harare.
Some explanations on the Applied Diplomas offered in association with MSU
Trust Academy offers Applied Diplomas in Accounting, Marketing, Business Administration and Entrepreneurship. A remarkable yet often overlooked difference exists between Diplomas and Applied Diplomas.
Applied learning is an academic approach that integrates classroom learning with real world situation. This learning approach enable students to demonstrate and apply the knowledge learnt in class in the work situation. Applied learning prepares and equips students with ideal skills that are sought after by employers.
A lot of Diploma graduates possess exceptional theoretical knowledge yet lack the ability to demonstrate the knowledge learnt. This is because the learning approach they received did not sufficiently integrate academic learning and the work environment.
However, Applied Diplomas offered in association with Midlands State University relates academic learning with the working environment thus giving you an added advantage as an employee or job seeker.
In addition, Trust Academy Bulawayo offers the following ICT Diplomas in association with MSU:
Diploma in Telecommunications (DTel), Diploma in Networking and PC Engineering (DNEP) and Diploma in Management Information Systems (DMIS)
