From 2008, the international business degree programs offered by University of Southern Queensland Australia via Thames Business School in Islamabad will now be offered via Management Development Institute - MDi Pakistan..

This is as a result of a direct agreement between the University and MDi Pakistan. MDi Pakistan is an established training, consultancy and research organization that has worked with leading organizations throughout Pakistan and the neighboring region since 1999. It is also operated by the same management group that has operated Thames Business School.

This consolidation of both the training/consultancy that MDi is well known for and also the international business degree programs offered by University of Southern Queensland in Pakistan under the one banner of MDi Pakistan is aimed at enhancing the value and quality the institute offers to its students, working professionals, organizations and other stakeholders
