Who is the Dubai-London EMBA designed for?

The Dubai-London Executive MBA class is exceptionally high-calibre and diverse.

Through the admissions process, we look for people who can both contribute to and benefit from the programme. In short, people who are able to bring that 'something extra' to the programme. As you can see from the class profile below, there is no 'typical' Executive MBA student. However, all our students have the potential and motivation to become true global, multi-skilled business leaders who are:

  • comfortable and successful in a global environment
  • able to effectively manage people and processes
  • able to think strategically
  • confident in a wide range of functions.
