However, due to continuously growing financial pressure we have finally been forced into revising our annual fees, details of which are to be found below:

Fellow: £50.00 per annum

Member: £30.00 per annum

Associate: £15.00 per annum

I think you will agree, this is reasonable increase given the present economic environment, and remains a very small annual subscription for professional membership.

The IMAS would like to thank members for both their understanding in this matter, and for their continued support of the institutes work.

Graduate of the Institute of Martial Arts and Sciences http://www.instituteofmartialartsandsciences.com/2012/03/graduate-of-the-institute-of-martial-arts-and-sciences/ http://www.instituteofmartialartsandsciences.com/2012/03/graduate-of-the-institute-of-martial-arts-and-sciences/#comments Tue, 27 Mar 2012 09:40:40 +0000 IMAS http://www.instituteofmartialartsandsciences.com/?p=785 We are pleased to announce that the institutes flagship qualification, the Grad. IMAS,
Is now accredited by the Qualifications Network UK.

This makes this already very popular course even more desirable. The Grad. IMAS is a degree level, professional qualification that is to set the benchmark of excellence in the martial arts, with students who have successfully passed all the relevant examinations and other assessment criterion being proud to use the letters “Grad. IMAS” after their name.

A comprehensive outline of this course is already available elsewhere on this website, which will give any prospective student a good idea regarding the workload they can expect, subjects covered by the various modules and time commitments, etc.

Further information is available on request from the admin department. This is the very first, stand-alone qualification of it’s type in the UK, and we are accepting applications for enrolment now. So, if you feel you have got what it takes to study at a very high level, now is the time to contact us.

Launch of the long awaited IMAS journal http://www.instituteofmartialartsandsciences.com/2011/10/launch-of-the-long-awaited-imas-journal/ http://www.instituteofmartialartsandsciences.com/2011/10/launch-of-the-long-awaited-imas-journal/#comments Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:37:24 +0000 IMAS http://www.instituteofmartialartsandsciences.com/?p=680 At long last, the first issue of our official journal, the IMAS Quarterly or IQ is due to be published this coming December.

This is a very important step in the development of the institute, helping to further establish it as a truly professional body dedicated to education and research in the martial arts and sciences.

The IQ will, as the name suggests, be published four times a year, and will be peer reviewed by various referees, in accordance with accepted academic standards. While it is only members of faculty who are both expected and required to publish manuscripts, members are also encouraged to submit articles and news. So, please start getting your ideas down on paper, and stay tuned for more information coming soon.

This makes the MAIA, which is already a very popular course, even more attractive to instructors who want the “Complete Package”, as it now comes with both QNUK accreditation and a years free membership of the IMAS.
