Road to success
IN PARTNERSHIP: Everyone strives to reach excellence and perfection in their lives, particularly in the careers department. For many that road to professional success will be in an array of different business roles, and that journey begins at university, which holds the key to ensuring you carve out the right path for you.
The top Australian university in the UAE, the University of Wollongong in Dubai, will do just that through their top programmes like the Master of Business Administration and their Global Executive Master of Luxury Management, which is set to launch in September 2020.
With a 27-year history of providing students in Dubai with top-tier education — the University of Wollongong in Australia ranks amongst the top two per cent of universities in the world — graduates go on to forge successful careers in the world of business and management, as well as finance and accounting and strategy.
Accredited history of success
Regardless of the sector of business and management graduates aim to go into, the programmes UOWD offers equip their students with the right tools and experience to carve out successful careers.
The proof is in the pudding, with a graduate network of more than 150,000 global alumni, many are working for world renowned companies such as Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Deloitte, Fedex, Adidas, Amazon, Emirates, Etisalat, Pepsico and more.
Entrepreneurial excellence
The degrees on offer at UOWD not only gives graduates the theory they need to succeed in the professional world, but also the practical knowledge that is essential for working in business and management roles.
The university’s popular Master of Business Administration programme equips students with knowledge that will be key to operating in the ever-changing global market. Similarly, the core subjects on offer create indispensable networking opportunities as well as the chance to converse with key players in leading industries.
UOWD’s Global Executive Master of Luxury Management, which is set to launch this year in September, has global thinking at its core. Created in partnership with top business school MIP Politecnico di Milano, it gives students the opportunity to be awarded with a dual degree, a chance that does not come around often. Not only that, the degree incorporates international study, giving students the opportunity to study in luxury fashion capitals Paris, Milan and Geneva.
Global experience
With the world being more connected than ever, global experience is key in today’s market whatever sector you go into, but particularly in business and management. Being able to stay connected 24/7 nowadays, it’s never been easier for companies to go global, which in turn means business is moving and changing at lightning speed.
Having global experience and connections equips those in business with the right tools to be able to manage changing trends, which is what UOWD offers.
As mentioned, their new upcoming GEMLUX course enables students to study in multiple business hubs, helping them expand their networks from the get-go. Similarly, the MBA also offers students the opportunity to engage in study trips abroad, in turn strengthening global ties even before entering the workforce.
Recognition around the world
Not only do students benefit from global experience at the university, they’ll also benefit from global recognition. Studying in Dubai alone is a major benefit, as the fastest growing business capital in the UAE, and being a central hub for companies globally, opens many doors.
Moreover, all students obtain an internationally accredited Australian degree, without travelling to Australia. As well as that, many of the programmes on offer are formally recognised by international professional organisations including AACSB, ACCA, CIMA, CPA Australia, EFQM, CILT, CIM, CIPD, CIPS and AHRI.
Top of the range facilities
Ensuring students have access to state-of-the-art facilities, and keeping up with the continued need for development, UOWD is set to move to a new 200,000 square foot campus in Dubai Knowledge park.
The new campus is to have ultramodern facilities, an avant-garde design and spearhead technology-driven curricula. The new campus will be inaugurated in September of this year.
