Why this course?
Strathclyde Business School has been delivering the Strathclyde MBA on an executive (part-time) basis via our international centres since 1988. We’ve successfully offered and developed the MBA in the UAE since 1995.
The MBA course will shape and guide you as a reflective, open- thinking, adaptive learner. This is facilitated through an enhanced understanding of the interplay of theory and practice in management. In particular it:
- provides the skills required for progression to higher level policy-forming positions
- allows you to make successful career transitions
- facilitates the move from technical specialism to general management
- polishes the skills and enhances the abilities of people working for themselves or about to set up in business

In addition to its UK campus, Strathclyde Business School has eight international centres located around the globe, all of which offer the Strathclyde Executive MBA. In the UAE, we have a Dubai centre, and since opening our doors back in 1995, we have graduated over 1000 MBA students from our centres.
The Strathclyde Executive MBA is a two year part-time, taught programme which is in all respects identical to the UK full-time MBA - the same entry criteria, programme content, assessment and core learning materials, and is taught by the same Strathclyde academics who teach in Glasgow. The programme holds all three international accreditations (AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB), is accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research (CAA), and is consistently ranked in the Financial Times (FT) Executive MBA rankings.
We're a triple-accredited business school: the first business school in Scotland to hold this accolade, and one of only 102 in the world (August 2020, MBA Today), to be triple-accredited, holding accreditation from the international bodies, AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS.
The MBA has also been accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research.

Alumni
There are hundreds of MBA and MSc alumni who have passed through the Dubai centre. These graduates comprise an active core of the University of Strathclyde UAE Alumni Association. This also includes Strathclyders from other programmes and campuses who now live in the UAE.
The alumni group has a LinkedIn page and coordinates regular events and initiatives to allow networking, continued education, career progression, and community outreach.
