The Executive MBA in Dubai will provide you with the strategic, financial and people skills needed to progress and perform effectively at senior levels. The programme combines management theory with real business application and from day one you’ll be able to apply new knowledge and skills in your workplace. You will develop a broad foundation of knowledge in core modules, focusing your studies around a particular sector or discipline in elective modules.
Core modules are taught at our state-of-the-art facilities in Dubai Knowledge Park. The flexibility of our MBA allows you to study certain option modules in Bradford, Toulouse (one module) and online through Distance Learning.
All modes use the same platform but deliver it in different ways to maximise the impact. This provides you with excellent and lasting networking opportunities both during and after your MBA.
Teaching for core modules is available as block teaching over Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 9:00 – 18:00. The teaching blocks are spaced a minimum of five weeks apart, going up to nine weeks in some instances to accommodate public holidays. If you are unable to make a weekend you can study the module online, anywhere in the world.
Our MBA has been designed with your future employability in mind and we continue to work with major employers on our MBA Advisory Board and International Advisory Board to ensure our syllabus deals with contemporary issues.
Whichever pathway you choose, your learning will be highly flexible, engaging and rigorous. You will have a variety of core and option modules, and each pathway totals the 180 credits required to complete the MBA programme.
The core modules give you a thorough grounding in the disciplines of management and provide a framework for the rest of the Executive MBA. Option modules give you the opportunity to enhance and deepen your knowledge and skills in areas that particularly interest you or that will advance your career in the future. Most option modules are 10-credit modules, though some are worth 20 credits. The 60-credit Management Project enables you to put the knowledge and skills gained throughout the programme to practical use on a relevant managerial issue.
