Director's Message“Continuing your management education at the graduate level is a decisive choice in your life; one that will shape to a large extent your future career path. The investment is significant, particularly for those who have to leave their jobs, although the return is usually substantial.

Choosing the right MBA program requires thought and research. The supply of MBA programs has substantially increased during the past decade and you will face a variety of options.

In your exhaustive search for the “right” program, you will be considering a variety of criteria such as brand name, ranking, location, international exposure, and so forth. Undoubtedly, most business schools offer to some extent a sound and solid education in management. However, prospective students should consider that there is no such thing as the “right” MBA. What they should seek is the appropriate “fit” between their specific requirements and the program particulars.

At IMT, our MBA provides you with the opportunity to

  • Gain a solid foundation in management education.
  • Apply tools and disciplines learned in the classroom in the real business world.
  • Learn by direct exposure to local companies, particularly through the first year internship and the second year project work, two key components of the program.
  • Develop your interpersonal skills and cultural sensitivity.
  • Be prepared to take up operational responsibilities in the region’s market place.

In its second stage of development IMT Dubai enlarged its portfolio of offerings and launched the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) program in 2010. The program spans over 4 years and offers concentrations in Accounting, Retail Management, and Logistics & Supply Chain. Bachelor's degree is the pivot on which rests the process of transformation of a young student into a young professional. The BSBA program at IMT Dubai is uniquely designed with this focus. It aims at imparting quality general and business education to students in order to prepare them for further studies at graduate level, and for a wide range of careers in the field of business and management.

Our objective at IMT-Dubai is to provide our students with a well-rounded curriculum and the critical reasoning to enable them to apply this knowledge in the difficult situations and critical decisions that they will face in their careers.

Our pedagogy is grounded on two pillars. The first pillar is the rigorous coursework, which provides students with the tools for professional success. The second pillar is the ‘fermentation’ that derives from the exposure of IMT students to the professional world. This exposure gives students a degree of maturity and experience unparalleled by other business studies. In turn this means that IMT graduates have the stuff of top-quality future managers. This ongoing concern for the evolving needs of the market, and its corporate actors in particular, is definitely what helps set IMT-Dubai apart.

At IMT, we aim to prepare managers who are familiar with the business environment of the region, capable of operating efficiently across markets and responding to the requirements and expectations of companies conducting business in this part of the world.

I strongly encourage all prospective students to visit our campus, meet with the admissions officers and the student services team to find out more about the program and IMT.”
