"I find the Dubai-London EMBA programme so unique. The participants on this programme come from such diverse cultural backgrounds, businesses and industries. Dubai is the centre of business development these days and being part of this immense growth is contributing to the expansion of new ideas. Most of the theories and the fundamentals taught in class are supported by case studies and implemented through group work and workshops. All this could not be complete without the real examples and real life experiences that come from the people living and working in such a vibrant and challenging business environment."

"The Dubai-London Executive MBA programme is having a significant influence on both my personal and working life. Studying in two different, yet unique cities is an electrifying experience and a rare opportunity in which to develop a truly global network.

"Dubai is a city that makes you feel that nothing is impossible. It simply takes courage, determination and a first-class grasp of business fundamentals - which you are guaranteed to acquire through the top-rated teaching faculty - to achieve your goals.

"The Dubai-London EMBA has energized, empowered and equipped me with insightful knowledge and confidence to start my own business. This collaborative culture and the support I am getting from my classmates on this new venture, along with practical advice, encouragement and willingness to help are typical characteristics of the Dubai-London EMBA participant.

"Dubai is a place of big achievements, big dreams and big collaborations. Having London Business School provide world-class business education in a region and in a city that is a pioneer in many different dimensions is an unbeatable recipe and an unrivalled experience for people who want to chase their wildest dreams and become successful business leaders."

Mahesh Vaswani (British) Dubai-London EMBA 2009
Group Managing Director, Platinum Corporation / Stallion Group

"I was looking for a challenging executive programme that would enhance and renew my technical skills whilst building on my vast practical experience. London Business School's Dubai-London EMBA has completely met my expectations and has greatly improved my organisational, strategic management, entrepreneurial and leadership skills and at the same time provided a tangible framework to 'think outside of the box'.

 "Having such a top-rated business programme so close to home is a tremendous advantage to the people working in the region, who, possibly like me, under normal circumstances may not have been able to attend such a programme despite being sufficiently qualified to do so.

"The faculty are truly amazing. Their teaching methods and understanding of business are unmatched and clearly one of the key reasons why London Business School has such a strong reputation around the world.

"I have had the opportunity to interact, network and meet with a strong group of individuals from all over the world with varied experiences and perspectives. I have learnt a great deal from their experiences and enjoyed the interaction, the new friendships and the value to be derived from successful teamwork."
