Growth of business education in the Middle East
Hult International Business School recently announced the expansion of its undergraduate programme to Hult Dubai as business education seems to flourish in the Middle East.
Starting in September 2025, students will have the opportunity to study Hult’s Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA) in the heart of Dubai Internet City, with dedicated study options for Marketing and Entrepreneurship.
The BBA offering is an addition to the MBA and master’s programmes currently offered at Hult’s UAE campus. Now, undergraduate students in Dubai will have access to the same opportunities as their peers across Hult’s global campuses, including practical, real-world learning, personalised support through one-on-one coaching and access to the global business network. The Hult BBA has been awarded for its innovative approach to teaching, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in competitive industries. By combining theory with real-world application, students participate in hands-on learning, tackle real business challenges and collaborate with peers from over 150 countries.
Hult’s Dubai campus features modern, high-tech classrooms and collaborative working spaces designed to inspire innovation and teamwork. It’s located just a short walk from the Metro and close to Dubai Marina, the beach, and other city attractions.
Big-name business schools from the US and Europe, including Hult, have taken more than just an interest in the region. INSEAD has a Middle East campus in Abu Dhabi. Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, Northwestern, and Cornell have branch campuses at Education City in Qatar.
