DIFC Partnership

The Executive MBA Dubai programme is delivered in collaboration with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

Opened in 2004, The Centre was conceived by the Government of Dubai as a global gateway for capital and investment for the benefit of the UAE region. Dubai is at the centre of untapped emerging markets for financial services, and bridges the gap between financial centres of London and New York in the west, and Hong Kong and Tokyo in the east.

As a hub for institutional financial services, the DIFC has been designed to develop a global centre for Islamic finance - this is now a $260 billion+ international market serving large Islamic communities stretching from Malaysia and Indonesia to the United States.

By positioning it as a globally recognised financial centre, the DIFC will act as a catalyst for regional economic growth, development and diversification.

DIFC Centre of Excellence

The Cass EMBA Dubai is based at the DIFC Centre of Excellence. The DIFC ensures its partners are of the highest calibre and the Cass Executive MBA programme is one of only two high pedigree courses offered there.

DIFC established the Centre to provide resources for finance and business professionals which will enable them to update their skills and competencies. As the pre-eminent business centre in the region, it offers the opportunity to interact with industry experts and high calibre professionals across the industry spectrum. You will also benefit from DIFC’s links with industry, government and academia both globally and regionally.
