EMBA or MBA in Dubai


JOCNews

I need to do an MBA but I have some confusion. There are not many full time MBA programs in Dubai, only Hult and the University of Dubai have international accreditation.

But there are also Executive MBA programs but these are not full time. Cass and Bradford for example. Are these comparable to full time programs, and which is better? I only have 3 years of work experience so I am worried that I will not be accepted in a program that is aimed at executives.

They're not comparable to full-time programs in that they are delivered either on nights or weekends or in blocks, rather than a Monday-Friday schedule. In this way you can work them into your work schedule.

My sense is that especially for the international EMBAs in Dubai, they do target them at older professionals, but also recruit a wider range of people, if those with less work experience, than say their UK counterparts. Check with the schools to see if your profile would fit.

Thanks for all the information. I only have three years of work experience, is that enough for an EMBA?

No, that's why I suggest SP Jain.

Thanks. Just one more question, which do you think it the better option - SP Jain, Hult, or University of Dubai?

I think that depends on your goals, but I think most students would be better off at SP Jain since that's the most rigourous, the most selective and the one with the best-qualified faculty.

I would like to learn management and Leadership through interaction with others and work shop
not just to get a certificate.
I'm still search here and there but still find HULT is the best in the Management and Leadership study concerning , which I'm Looking for .
Hult
Strath
Cass
Bradford ...But I consider it as an MBA not an EMBA from their brochure I can see that.

I would say that Bradford's EMBA program is still an EMBA. In fact, it features the same content as the EMBA program on the school's home campus. There might be some variation in terms of audience - they might recruit people with a wider variety in terms of work experience than for the EMBA on their home campus, but that's going to be true for Strath and Cass as well.

Traditional MBA or Executive MBA Program?

Article Jun 20, 2011

An EMBA program is more than "an MBA without the kids," but an experienced cohort does make a difference.
