Core courses

At London Business School we understand that core disciplines are a vital part of any MBA programme and this is why we offer the breadth and depth of courses you see listed below. The Dubai-London Executive MBA core courses offer a thorough grounding in business management and the opportunity to build on existing skills and acquire new ones. The core courses enable you to gain practical skills that can immediately be applied back to your career.

The programme begins with an orientation dedicated to self-awareness and reflection, and to examining leadership by analysing and improving your own team working skills, which will help you contextualise the Dubai-London Executive MBA in direct reference to your own career.

The core courses are taught in a four-day block format consisting of two weekend days, and two weekdays. These 11 courses are the core of the MBA, and provide you with the opportunity to reflect upon and evaluate your experience and to develop global business capabilities, which we define as the knowledge and skills needed to operate as a successful leader anywhere in the world.

At the heart of the programme is a solid foundation of business knowledge developed by faculty. In order to meet the particular needs of working professionals, the programme's format and content have been designed specifically - based on extensive research and feedback from faculty, students and employers - to ensure the most effective use of time in the classroom, and minimise time away from work.
