The business world is changing and expanding constantly as we seek to develop markets and respond to the needs of consumers and companies.

With the UAE's place as a business hub for the Middle East well-established, many regional and international businesses have set up offices here in addition to prominent local companies. These companies manufacture, import and export a wide range of products to countries throughout the region and all over the world.

Our Master of Business Administration (MBA) program has been designed to provide our graduates with the skills they need to be competitive in today's dynamic, global marketplace. Business school graduates today must be exposed to the latest techniques and most current business practices if they are to be prepared to pursue careers in an ever-changing and complex world. The educational experiences our students have as they pursue their MBA at AUS prepare them for productive business careers and enable them to make valuable contributions to the organizations they join.

Through our MBA program, students are prepared for careers in management and leadership positions in both the private and public sectors. Our students acquire a comprehensive foundation in the fundamentals of business in the global environment in which they function. They also learn the skills and analytical tools for effective communicating and decision making. Individual participation is emphasized through class discussions, case study methodology, and interaction and cooperation with other students in the class.

Graduates of our program are prepared to identify, analyze and understand the interrelationships among business organizations and international and domestic institutions in the UAE and throughout the world. Our students also develop an awareness of societal and environmental needs and concerns as they relate to ethical, professional and socially responsible business practices.
