UmbracoTemplatePage and strongly typed view not working together

Question

I don't quite understand why I can't use both strongly typed view and umbraco template in one view.

I have a script importing excel data. My website is in umbraco 7. I use Import.cshtml view which calls upload.cshtml partial

@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Master.cshtml";

    var locations = new List<SelectListItem>
        {
        new SelectListItem {Selected = false, Text = "location 1", Value = ""},
        };

    var fileTypes = new List<SelectListItem>
        {
        new SelectListItem {Selected = false, Text = "type 1", Value = ""},
        };
}

<div id="page-bgtop">
    <div class="post">
        <h1>@Umbraco.Field("title")</h1>
        <div class="entry">
            @Html.Partial("Upload", new MvcImport.Models.ImportModel { FileTypes = fileTypes, Locations = locations })
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="clear"> </div>
</div>

Upload.cshtml partial does the job in ImportController. The data are there inserted into nicely into

List<CourseImport> courses = List<CourseImport>

All I want to do with it now is to display them in a view or partial view. I tried several things:

---

CASE 1

1.

in ImportController I do:

return View("CoursesList", courses);

2.

The view includes a table which displays the rows and starts with

@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage
@model IEnumerable<MvcImport.Models.CourseImport>
@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Master.cshtml";
}

3.

In this case I get:

Parser Error Message: The 'inherits' keyword is not allowed when a 'model' keyword is used.

---

CASE 2

1.

As 1. in Case 1.

2.

The view starts with (so without @inherits UmbracoTemplatePage)

@model IEnumerable<MvcImport.Models.CourseImport>
@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Master.cshtml";
}

3.

I get:

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[MvcImport.Models.CourseImport]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel'.

---

CASE 3

1.

In ImportController I do

return PartialView("CoursesList", courses);

2.

I'm now using partial view which it similar to the view in the above points and also is strongly typed eg.

@model IEnumerable<MvcImport.Models.CourseImport>

3.

In this case the data is displayed but without my umbraco template shape, no styling etc.

If in the partial view I include

@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Master.cshtml";
}

I get the same error as in Case 2

---

Changing the starting directive to

@model UmbracoViewPage<MvcImport.Models.CourseImport>

does not work either as the model must be enumerable

---

Can someone advise me how to do it? I guess there must be a solution but I am very new to MVC so I don't get how things work yet too much.

Thanks.
