Hello I am currently stationed in Dubai and I am exploring options for MBA programs here. I will be here working for at least another two years. I would prefer a part time MBA so I can managing other obligations. Is it better to do an MBA in Dubai or do a distance learning program instead? Thank you for your time.

It's crucial to do a strong business school's MBA rather than a weak school's MBA and then, among the good ones, it's better to do one where you attend classes rather than study only online. The traditional leaders in Dubai are the top English schools: London, Manchester, Cass and Bradford. SP Jain is also a strong option.

The American University in Dubai also offers an AACSB-accredited MBA. What are your goals? Do you plan on returning to your home country after the two years are over?

I plan on returning to India or hopefully go to the UK after the two years.

I think AUD is full-time only. In addition to the schools, I mentioned, Strathclyde teaches in Abu Dhabi and in Dubai. https://www.strath.ac.uk/courses/postgraduatetaught/mba-abudhabi-dubai/

SP Jain is around £16,000 and Bradford is £21,000, so those are the low-cost options
