Complete the programme 100% online in as little as four years
You can pursue the programme entirely online, without relocating from Kuwait City. Its online format makes it possible to keep your professional and personal commitments in view while working towards an ambitious academic goal.
The programme can be completed in as little as four years. That gives you a clear horizon for turning sustained study and research into a substantial achievement.
Study without fixed online attendance times
The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates. You can plan your study around the hours when you are best able to concentrate, rather than arranging your life around scheduled live sessions.
That flexibility can be especially valuable when workdays change, responsibilities grow or you collaborate across time zones. Your progress remains purposeful, but your study routine can be your own.
Keep learning wherever you go
Study from Kuwait City or anywhere else in the world. Whether you are at home, away on business or travelling, the online format helps you stay connected to your learning.
Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. It is a practical way to make use of travel time and continue learning when an internet connection is unavailable.
Show your thinking through open-book assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you the opportunity to work with information and demonstrate how you interpret and apply what you have learned.
For an experienced professional, that approach can feel closer to the decisions encountered at work: considering evidence, weighing alternatives and building a reasoned response to a complex question.
Learn from faculty with outstanding academic backgrounds
Tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied academic backgrounds bring a breadth of perspective to the learning experience.
Engaging with experienced educators can help you refine your questions, deepen your understanding of research and grow more confident in your own contribution to management knowledge.
Join a truly international learning community
Students from more than 130 countries bring different professional experiences and perspectives to the online community. Learning alongside them can broaden how you think about leadership, organisations and change.
Alumni work for organisations including Kuwait Oil Company, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their paths illustrate the international range of careers represented in the wider community.
Plan your payments with interest-free instalments
The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time can make it easier to plan alongside your other commitments.
With a payment schedule you can consider in advance, you can focus on the larger goal: developing your research capabilities and taking the next step in your professional journey.
