This is my first board message. I am looking to do a full-time MBA in Dubai. Looks like the best programs are Hult (accredited by AMBA), University of Dubai (AACSB), and UAE University (AACSB) Any thoughts/suggests. ?
Best MBA in Dubai?

Hi Kate,
If you're looking for internationally accredited, then I'd say Hult is good. They require GMAT for their admissions as well which is good and sets a certain standard.
Even SP Jain's MBA is AMBA accredited, so check them out as well as the cost is quite reasonable and from what I know, the programme is very demanding but a rewarding one.
Wollongong's MBA is very good as well based on my peer's feedback. Plus they've been here for an extremely long time and are well-established and connected with industries here.
At the end of the day, it really depends on what your personal objectives are - so do consider the following:
1. Do you want to switch to a particular function/industry - Check with the university counsellors on how can they assist you in moving to that particular industry/function and how well-connected are they.
2. Is it more for personal development rather than career solely - If so, then does it really matter which university and does it justify spending over 100k on one school over the other?
3. Cost and ROI expected - How much money you need to spend VS when can you expect to see returns on it - if the cost outweigh, it may not be very favourable choice
4. Do you intend to stay in UAE or relocate in the long-term? - This will make a diff in choosing a locally-known university or an international one
Hope that helps a little...

Why would you want to do a *full-time* MBA in Dubai? Obviously the best MBAs in Dubai are part-time programes and some of those, like the LBS programme, lead to the same degree as the full-time MBA and have more or less the same cost http://www.london.edu/programmes/dubailondonemba.html

Hello Ezra,
I am from India with 5 years of experience in IT Field, have done engineering in computer science. I want to do MBA from Dubai but I have not given GMAT/IELTS. Kindly suggest me which university I should join for MBA.
HULT/heriott watt/bradford.
Heriott watt do not require gmat score and for english proficiency they need ielts/toefl or a letter from your college that the medium of teaching was English.Is it the right university?kindly suggest.

If Manchester is a 10 and Heriot Watt is a 1, then I'd say Strathclyde is an 8.5.

Hi Duncan,
Thanks for the reply...I am also considering the fees factor....which one among Manchester/Strathclyde is less expensive as I am not from UAE.I am having 5 years of experience in IT sector. Kindly suggest!

Hi Sushil
I too am planning to do my MBA not this year but in 2014 for sure.
I ve been researching about MBA's in Dubai and so far have come to the following options -
(This is in the order of The best to least)
LBS (dubai)
Insead (abudhabi)
Cass Uk (dubai)
Hult (Dubai)
These 4 are internationally recognized and more or less are a "safe bet" . The rest would be a comprimise.
But for sure dont do it from Indian universities here, not worth it since there are many hidden details regarding their credibility which I know comes a surprise only in the last minute.
For LBS the Avg work experience starts from 4yrs. (You can apply to LBS and see, but would be better if you had 4 yrs and above).
