Advance Your Future: MSc Business Administration from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Build your next chapter without leaving the life you have built in Abu Dhabi. Offered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College, the MSc Business Administration gives you the opportunity to deepen your understanding of business while continuing to work, travel and pursue your goals. Its ideas and frameworks can be applied in organisations around the world.
Earn a British degree with international relevance
Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Salford. It is a qualification you can take into conversations about your career well beyond the United Kingdom, whether your ambitions lie in Abu Dhabi or elsewhere.
Studying business administration encourages you to examine decisions from multiple perspectives, connect strategy with day-to-day operations and communicate your thinking clearly. These capabilities matter across borders and industries.
Complete your studies 100% online in as little as one year
You can complete the programme entirely online, with no need to relocate or pause your life in Abu Dhabi. If you are ready to make focused progress, it can be completed in as little as one year.
That pace offers a way to invest in your future while remaining present for your work and personal commitments. Your studies can become part of the momentum you are already building.
Learn without fixed online attendance times
The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates. You can engage with your studies when it works for you, rather than arranging your schedule around live attendance.
That flexibility can be especially valuable when your working hours change or responsibilities arise unexpectedly. You can plan your learning around the demands of your week while continuing to work towards your degree.
Study wherever life takes you
Your classroom can travel with you. Study from Abu Dhabi, elsewhere in the United Arab Emirates or anywhere in the world while you are on the move.
Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. Whether you are preparing for a journey or making use of time between commitments, your learning can remain close at hand even without a connection.
Show your understanding through open-book assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. They give you the opportunity to work with course resources as you develop and present your understanding.
This approach places value on interpreting ideas, making connections and building a considered response. It can help you practise the kind of thoughtful analysis that business challenges often demand.
Learn from faculty with distinguished academic backgrounds
Your tutors and faculty bring academic experience shaped by world-renowned universities, with graduates of institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis among them.
Learning from educators with varied academic backgrounds can broaden the questions you ask and the perspectives you consider. Their guidance can help you engage confidently with complex business ideas.
Join a genuinely international learning community
Study alongside a diverse student base from over 130 countries. Alumni work for organisations including DHL, CK Hutchison, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, GM, Louis Vuitton, Raffles World Academy, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.
That international mix can enrich discussions and expose you to different ways of approaching familiar challenges. From Abu Dhabi, you can exchange ideas with fellow students whose experiences span countries, sectors and career paths.
Plan your investment with monthly instalments
Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This gives you a clear way to spread the cost of your studies over time.
With a payment schedule you can plan around, you can focus on the opportunity ahead: developing your knowledge and taking a purposeful step towards your goals.
Put your learning to work in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi’s energy sector creates opportunities for professionals who can connect strategic thinking with operational decisions. Whether you work in an established energy business or an organisation exploring new technologies, a broader understanding of business administration can help you consider growth, change and performance together.
The emirate’s finance and investment activity, including the international business community around Abu Dhabi Global Market, also rewards people who can evaluate opportunities and communicate across functions. The programme can help you develop a wider perspective on how organisations make decisions and pursue long-term objectives.
Abu Dhabi’s ambitions extend across logistics, tourism, technology and manufacturing. In these varied settings, the ability to assess challenges, work with different teams and apply business theory can be valuable as you pursue new responsibilities or seek to make a greater contribution in your current role.
