AUD MBA program, from strength to strength

The AUD MBA, with enrollment of nearly 150 students, was established in 1996 and currently offers the following concentrations: International Finance and International Marketing. The Program is accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

The two new concentrations are being introduced after thorough market research was conducted by the AUD School of Business Administration, including interviews with several leading organizations in each area, as well as a survey of what competitors offer.

The MBA concentration in Health Care Management is designed for professionals who are seeking a solid foundation in business fundamentals and their applications to the health care sector. Targeted groups include physicians, pharmacist, nurses, social workers, medical technologists, hospital administrators, health services researchers and health insurance personnel.

The MBA concentration in the Management of Construction Enterprises emphasis the application of business fundamentals to the construction industry. The program is strengthened by its collaboration with the faculty of the AUD School of Engineering. It is specifically designed for individuals from all disciplines within the construction industry, in particularly those with undergraduate degrees in construction-related fields, such as architects, engineers, project managers and others.

According to Dr. Dwayne Banks, Dean of the School of Business Administration:

"The addition of these new concentration into the MBA curriculum, clearly demonstrates the leading role of AUD in delivering a state-of-the-art business education to residents of the UAE."
