Dubai: The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and London Business School (LBS) yesterday announced the launch of London Business School operations in Dubai's DIFC.

These will include a Dubai-London Executive MBA programme - the first time the school has set up its own branded programme overseas - and Executive Education programmes. The courses will be run from the DIFC.

The dual campus EMBA will be the first degree programme available in the Middle East jointly offered by a world-class business school and world-class international financial centre. This new 16-month dual campus EMBA programme will be taught by London Business School faculty and lead to the MBA degree. Teaching, which begins in September 2007, will comprise classes in Dubai during the first year, with options to take the electives to follow at London Business School's Regents Park campus. The programme will offer managers or professionals with relevant experience a chance to experience the advantages of learning in the global hub of London, as well as the thriving economic and creative centre of Dubai.

"The Dubai-London Executive MBA programme offered by London Business School at DIFC is a significant addition to the region in general and UAE in particular.

"The investment being made in the region in creating an innovative knowledge-based economy has already borne significant fruit, said Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman, Governor of the DIFC.
