Study Abroad Program

MBA students can take 6-9 CH (3 courses) at any of the UD partner universities (University of North Florida, USA; Michigan State University, USA; or Grenoble Ecole de Management, France). They can also conduct an Action Research Project of 3 CH in their final term as a part of their MBA program of studies at any of these partner universities. This gives them the required international exposure on various business issues.  The same fee as the MBA course fee (i.e. AED 7,500 per course) will apply. UD students should be financially capable of bearing their living expenses i.e. accommodation, transport and others during their stay abroad.
