One of our MBA (Global) students Saniyah Hassan speaks about her experience in Curtin while completing her MBA (Global) courses “I was inclined to pursue a part-time MBA that enabled me to study at my own pace. Being a working professional and a homemaker, it was extremely important for me to distribute my time among these three. Curtin Dubai offered project-based learning experiences with real companies across the globe and an international field trip as part of the MBA (Global) program, which ensured that the theory being taught in class was supported by practical industry experience. I had to ensure that the university I chose had quality education, broad program structure, and international standards. Curtin definitely checked all those boxes and I am happy I made that choice.”
Throughout the course, you will develop your leadership skills through work-integrated learning, industry mentorships and field trips. You will also gain insight from an international study tour overseas, learning essential business practices that will help equip you for a career that could take you anywhere in the world.

In your final semester, you will undertake an industry based business placement or consultancy project, to help you further cement your professional skills in the competitive global market.
