PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
At the University of Birmingham, we believe in making our cutting-edge research and knowledge accessible to all.
Offering a suite of workshops, guest lectures and Executive Education courses, our programmes are designed for working professionals who are looking to expand their knowledge, learn about new developments in their field or understand other related disciplines.
Our programmes draw on the knowledge and expertise of our academic faculty based in the UAE but also the cutting-edge and world-leading research taking place at the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston campus.
Our professional curriculum offers an in-depth insight into both a UAE and a global context. Delegates benefit from small class sizes with high academic-to-delegate ratios, peer-to-peer learning through class discussions and networking events.
Our experience of working with critical issues that impact on Dubai and the wider UAE region include: developing inclusion and special education needs support in Dubai; legal issues in financial markets; character virtues of the young in schools; and encouraging support and engagement for Arabic language development.
