Global Part-time MBA
The Manchester two-year Global Part-time MBA programme is structured around four practical themes - Management in Practice; Value Creation in Business; Tailoring Your Journey; Professional Skills for Business. Students can also further personalise the MBA programme with a range of electives to suit specific goals and interests, and there are further options to accelerate the programme to 18 months. The Global Part-time MBA programme provides as much face to face time with faculty as many full-time MBA programmes, with workshops hosted in Dubai. The Manchester Global MBA has two intakes each year (January and July) and was recognised as the best MBA programme in the Middle East by Forbes Middle East in 2019.

MSc Real Estate
The MSc Real Estate programme is delivered in a part-time blended learning format, suitable for working professionals in the real estate industry and associated professional services, or working professionals with an interest in building a career in real estate. It provides the opportunity to join regular face to face course conferences with faculty and peers, in Dubai. The new programme is taught by a team of leading academics experienced

in the global real estate industry and is designed as an intensive fast-track conversion course for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The key themes are commercial awareness, globalisation, and sustainability, understanding the role of real estate in society, business, and the end-user.

MA Educational Leadership in Practice
The MA Educational Leadership in Practice is a new, two-year programme suitable for qualified and experienced working educators, from class teachers to nursery/school/college managers, leaders and principals. The programme’s blended learning format combines the convenience of online self-study and regular face to face course conferences with international peers and faculty, in Dubai. The programme is designed to empower educational leaders and aspiring leaders to face the challenges of globalising education and the increasing realities of financial pressures, resource constraints, and the rising expectations of stakeholders – from regulators to owners and parents – while balancing these with the core fundamental values of education, with competency and compassion.

The University of Manchester focuses on teaching, research and social responsibility and the QS World University Rankings 2019 now lists Manchester as the world’s 27th best university. The University of Manchester was awarded a 5-star rating by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority in Dubai’s first higher education classification, in 2019. The Middle East Centre has supported more than 2,700 part-time MBA students based in the region and has graduated more than 1,700 students since opening in Dubai Knowledge Park in 2006, making it the largest and fastest growing centre in the University’s international network.
