Dubai has once again been chosen as the Middle East base for one of a series of global briefing sessions from UCLA Anderson School of Management and National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School on their Dual-Degree Global Executive MBA Program.
Both Schools are hosting over 30 background introductions in all of the core international business markets including London, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo. The session in Dubai will be the only one hosted in the Middle East region.
Seeking to attract senior working professionals from around the world to what has become recognized as a highly prestigious set of MBA courses taught by world-class faculty, the unique structure of the UCLA – NUS Executive MBA program allows senior executives from anywhere in the world to participate in an unparalleled global learning experience without interrupting their careers.
Key aspects of the program include:
?One-Of-A-Kind Format comprises 6 two-week segments over 15 months - segments are held in 4 different locations: 2x Singapore, 2x Los Angeles, 1x Shanghai and 1x Bangalore - designed to accommodate the demanding schedules of busy executives.
?Global Learning Environment with 50% of participants flying in for segments from other continents (not countries!), the class is uniquely diverse not only by nationality, culture, and industry and functional background, but importantly, participants are currently both working and living in very different parts of the globe.
?Earn Two World-Class MBAs In 15 Months from two of the world’s top, globally-recognized universities: University of California, Los Angeles and the National University of Singapore.
Together these two leading business schools produce a remarkable synergy to deliver the best of East and West educational systems. Senior executives are provided with a truly global perspective on leadership and management in a highly interactive and experiential environment.
Speaking on behalf of UCLA Anderson School of Mangement, UCLA Anderson Professor Chris Erickson, Senior Associate Dean and Academic Director UCLA – NUS Executive MBA Program said: “The Middle East is a dynamic and fast emerging business environment and remains a core focus for us as we look to recruit international students. Our program provides participants with the opportunity to learn from world-renowned and award-winning faculties, and become immersed in both Asian and North American perspectives during the residential segments in Singapore, Los Angeles, Shanghai and Bangalore. Upon completion, participants have developed the essential skill sets and global leadership capabilities that are directly relevant to the most critical business and organizational issues in our rapidly globalizing world.”
Adding to these comment, Ramsey Hasan, Class of 2008, previously of the Hamad Medical Center in Doha, Qatar said: ““The Middle East is full of exciting opportunities and our central location allows us to learn from a number of different cultures as we continue to develop and look to the future. In this respect the UCLA – NUS Global Executive MBA program is unique, bridging two different schools of thought with the North American, western management model and the Asian business environment. It’s an ideal mix of both Eastern and Western philosophies. Consequently it attracts a diverse group of senior international executives who helped transform my educational adventure into a truly global business learning experience.”
