IUM marks 40 years with AI push and campus expansion
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The International University of Monaco has welcomed 1,250 students for the new academic year as it celebrates its 40th anniversary with plans to expand its campus and embed reasoned AI into its teaching.
The International University of Monaco has opened its doors to 1,250 students for the 2026-27 academic year, marking four decades since the business school was founded in the Principality. The milestone comes as IUM sets two ambitious targets for the year ahead: a physical expansion of its facilities and a structured integration of artificial intelligence into its curriculum.
The AI initiative is described as reasoned rather than wholesale adoption, with the institution looking to embed AI tools into its pedagogy in a considered way. For Monaco, where financial services, asset management and luxury business form the backbone of the local economy, graduates trained with practical AI literacy carry obvious relevance to local employers.
The campus expansion plans, though not yet detailed in full, signal confidence in the school's trajectory and its place within the Principality's broader ambition to position itself as a hub for international education and innovation.
