Explore Five Business, Finance & Management Programmes
Investing, Business & Wealth Management
Dubai | Age 16+ | 6 days / 30 hours
What would you do with AED 100 million?
Students take on a simulated AED 100 million investment-allocation challenge, analysing public and private investment opportunities, assessing risk and return, and presenting their decisions in a formal investment memo.
They also examine financial markets, business valuation and wealth management decisions.
A strong fit for a student who already follows markets, or wants to.
Mastering FMCG Brands (Everyday Consumer Brands)
Dubai | In person
Why does one product get picked off a supermarket shelf while another gets ignored?
Discover how fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands compete through product positioning, pricing, packaging, marketing and consumer behaviour.
The programme examines the commercial decisions behind products people buy every day.
Ideal if your child notices packaging, prices and adverts before anyone else does.
PR, Communications & Brand Management
Dubai | Ages 15–18
Why can a designer handbag cost AED 5,000 while an unbranded one costs AED 500?
Brand perception, communication and reputation influence commercial value. Students examine how these factors shape consumer decisions, then develop a brand brief and crisis-response plan.
Launch Your First Business (Micro Start-Up)
Dubai | 2 weeks / 50 hours
Can a business idea survive its first encounter with real customers?
From market research and customer validation to branding and a working minimum viable product (MVP), students take an idea through the early stages of building a business.
They use real engagement data to test assumptions and identify what needs improving.
For the student with a business idea they keep talking about.
Sports Management
Dubai | Ages 14–17
Every match day depends on events that run smoothly, fans who are looked after and audiences who come back.
Behind every sporting organisation are people managing events, operations, marketing, customer experience and retention.
The programme introduces students to the commercial decisions that keep sports businesses running.
