One Global MBA, Four Locations
Recognizing the need for future business leaders to develop sophisticated, multicultural and global perspectives, Hult International Business School is proud to announce the opening of its new campus in Dubai, UAE, providing the opportunity for MBA students to study in four exciting locations: Boston, London, Dubai, and Shanghai.
Hult offers full-fledged MBA programs in Boston, London, and Dubai. Building on the success of Hult in Boston, ranked 16th in the U.S. by the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Dubai campus holds to the same standards of highly qualified faculty from the U.S. and Europe, a rigorous and intensive curriculum, and an emphasis on action learning. The Boston, London, and Dubai campuses feature the case-study method, the Action Learning Project and business simulations.
Shanghai is a study abroad campus of Hult that will hold classes for Boston, London, and Dubai students during their first elective module. This multi-campus rotation is an integral part of the Hult international MBA experience, allowing students to gain a unique insight into the world's key economies.
Hult in Dubai

dean of Hult's Dubai campus, Dr Michael Barnes, explained,
"I believe that the opportunity to study for a world-class
MBA in one of the most dynamic cities anywhere will be

Living in Dubai

city in the world and a gateway for commerce between the
East and West. Hult students experience not only a new
culture and lifestyle but also a country that is literally
recreating itself as the financial and commercial hub
of the Middle East.
It is one the most dynamic and forward-looking cities
in the region - cosmopolitan with an international lifestyle,

the Gulf region. Food and drink from all parts of the
world are available along with sports - from European
Football to World Rugby and the Cricket World Cup. English

Dubai respects the rights of people from diverse cultures.

the country has a liberal attitude to various clothing

Above all, courtesy and hospitality remain hallmarks of
the Dubai experience, and most visitors are charmed by
the genuine warmth and friendliness of the people.
