The Cass EMBA Dubai programme is a flexible, part-time programme for committed and ambitious managers in the Gulf, the Middle East and the surrounding regions who want to accelerate their career development whilst remaining in full-time employment.

Delivered in collaboration with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the EMBA Dubai offers you direct access to the very latest business-tested thinking and combines academic and practical content. The EMBA programme's modular structure and delivery in Dubai over one long weekend each month, enables you to fit your studies around your personal and professional needs.

At Cass we believe in applying our theories to the realities of your business environment. So, in addition to a general EMBA, we offer both Energy and Islamic Finance specialisms, designed to deliver knowledge and practical relevance to the region. The Islamic Finance stream is the first in the world offered by a top ranked Business School.

There are three key elements to the Executive MBA.

The 12 core modules, taken by all students, give the fundamental skills and knowledge you need to be a world-class business leader.

Elective modules then give you the opportunity to specialise in one of three chosen streams: Islamic Finance, Energy or General.

Finally, the Business Mastery Project, a major piece of business analysis, enables you to focus on your area of specialism and put into practice what you have learned on the Executive MBA programme.

To be considered for the EMBA, candidates are required to have:

Either a good undergraduate degree or substantial and relevant work experience and/or professional qualifications as an alternative to a first degreee.

A minimum of three years' full-time relevant work experience after graduation.

If English is not your first language you will require a minimum, well balanced IELTS score of 7.0. This may be waived if you have worked or studied in an English-speaking country for at least a year.
Admissions decisions are based on the academic ability of the candidate, the level of experience and commitment that he or she brings to the course, and the contribution that he or she will be able to make to the learning of others. Most applicants will not be required to take GMAT. If we need further information on your academic capacity for the programme, or your current motivation to study, we may request that you take GMAT.
