Why not Dubai University or SP Jain? Why not study outside Dubai?

Naina,

Mr Duncan has given you a perfect advise. For your budget S P Jain is a perfect school unless you are from China or Pakistan, because if you are from these countries people there will ridicule if you get MBA from Indian origin business school.

Dubai University has the most prestigious US accreditation, from the AACSB (See http://www.find-mba.com/accreditations). Since Hult does not have that (or EQUIS, the European standard) I think the university is an option worth considering seriously.

PS MBA program fees are AED 7,500 per course, works out to AED 97,500 for 8 core courses and 5 specialist courses.

Dear all:
Do you really think that SP Jain is nice B school in Dubai?

I hesitate to make decision between SP Jain and HULT in Dubai.
My detail file as following: http://www.find-mba.com/board/33281/last/#post-33286
Once comparing the above University in Dubai, I forget the issue of fees, the ranking in FT and even the invalid degree certificate in China.

I heard from my college that the course from HULT is much more intensive than SP Jain. My major concern is that whether I can manage very well the time among work, study and family life.
Can anybody (current student in HULT) tell me how about the course?s intense? How many hours are required to spend on study off-campus every day?

One of Chinese current student in HULT inform me that the rate of time spent in course to time spend off campus should be 1:5 (time spent off campus is 5 time?s than that spent in course) in HULT every day.
And professor in SP Jain tell me that it should be 1:1(time spend in course to time of self study off campus) in SP Jain.

Who can tell me the rally fact regarding above rate of time issue.
This is very important for me to make decision.
Please give more detail regarding time arrangement between above two Universities.
I do not consider other university.

Why not Dubai University or SP Jain? Why not study outside Dubai?

Hi A_Dewidar,
If you're open to other options for MBA programs in Dubai, you could also consider Hult. I work with them. It's ranked by both the Economist and the Financial Times.

There's a one-year full time MBA program:
http://www.hult.edu/mba-program/campuses/dubai
And a two-year part-time MBA program:


http://www.hult.edu/mba-program/our-program/part-time-mba

If you're already in Dubai, you can get a good idea about Hult by attending the Pocket MBA program in a few days:
http://www.dkvevents.ae/rep.php?event_id=117&general_id=95§ion=about. There will be Hult professors, current students and plenty of campus representatives so you'll get a good idea about the programs and can ask all the questions you want.

Otherwise, don't hesitate to get in touch with us via the website (online chat, phone number and e-mail all listed).

Best of luck in choosing an MBA program!

Dear Kbell:

HULT is nice as I heard.

As I know, the course in HULT is very intensive, and my college told me that he should spend 15 hours to do the Group work and individual assignment off-campus every two days when he spend 3 hours on course in campus.
The courses are delivered three times in the evening every week for Part time EMBA.

Please give me more information regarding above time required off-campus every day.
Thanks very much.

Yes, I think the comments and reviews about Hult are worth considering.

Why are you only looking at Dubai?

anybody can evaluate the SP Jain in Dubai.

Naina, Dubai isn't a great place to take a full-time MBA. There's only one with the most respected accreditation, the university has the AACSB accreditation, and then SP Jain and Hult have AMBA accreditation (which is not so good since it focusses mainly on the MBA curriculum and not on the learning environment of the school as a whole). I think that if you have more than three years' work experience, the SP Jain school is the better option for most students. If a candidate has less than three years' experience, then the longer, 15-month format at the university is a great choice.

I think the Hult experience might be different in London or Boston. There they have large campuses which have been there for a few decades. The schools was founded in Boston in the 1960s, as AD Little. The London campus was founded in the 1980s, as Huron.

PS In the UAE, Hult has only one professor, and he spends much of his time flying to other countries: more than a dozen different countries last year! https://www.facebook.com/merwyn.strate
