• Provide the skills required for progression to higher level policy-forming positions
• Allow you to make successful career transitions

The programme is delivered through a mix of intensive learning materials delivered by academic staff from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, the exact same across all MBA programmes. This is enhanced with local sessions with counsellors and classmates when the practical applications and discussion around the learning to embed the learning can really come alive.

Dave Mackay the MBA Director states “It’s very easy to find leaders and managers in organisations who agree that learning is crucial for employees; what’s more interesting is when you ask them, how are you investing in your own learning?

It’s incumbent on us – MBA providers – to keep developing it, to innovate what we offer so our students are business literate in the right ways and to ensure the MBA is of value – in the current climate areas such as innovation, digital, sustainability are more important than ever and these are themes which run through our MBA along with our specific functional areas such as marketing, HRM, Finance and so on.”

The Strathclyde MBA offers opportunities to study part of the programme in any of the University international centres, including UK further enhancing your networking opportunities. The Strathclyde alumni community in the UAE is strong and engaged and provides excellent lifetime contacts and friends.
