Master of Business Administration

The Master of Business Administration at Al Buraimi University College combines a compulsory management core with elective choices and a final stage that students complete through either a thesis or a comprehensive examination. The compulsory block, worth 27 credit hours, teaches applied statistics and research methods for business, then moves through marketing, operations, finance, organisational theory, strategy, human resources and managerial accounting. A further 9 credit hours come from electives, which include international business, information systems management, special topics in management, organisational behaviour and project management. To finish the degree, students choose between a thesis stream, where the thesis carries 6 credit hours, and an exam stream built around a comprehensive examination worth 3 credit hours. None of the listed courses is shown with a prerequisite, which leaves students free to plan the order of their study.
