COURSE STRUCTURE

RSE RSE
Our EMBA program is divided into four phases. The program kicks off with 17 core courses that
build a solid foundation for more specialised learning in the later phases of the program. Given the
increasing need for business leaders to have specialist knowledge, we provide a comprehensive
range of electives targeting your own careers. These electives, taken in phase 2 of the program, are
what you actually need in the real-world; they provide you with the opportunity to broaden your
knowledge base and stay up-to-date with current market trends. In the third phase of learning, you
will be able to gain practical exposure by applying the skills and knowledge gained in the program
to real-life business scenarios. Academic learning culminates with a research project.

The ABR project is worth 4 credits in the curriculum and is done by participants within the
context of their own organisations. Students may opt to complete the ABR in Dubai or
Singapore.
ABR is divided into two logical stages:

ARD
DESIGN AND DEFENCE OF RESEARCH PROPOSAL (1 CREDIT)
CONDUCTING RESEARCH AND MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS (3 CREDITS)

THE FIRST STAGE, worth 1 credit is dedicated to designing a research proposal. In this stage,
students are required to conduct extensive secondary research. They are actively involved
in literature review, which includes scanning academic papers, journals and books as well as
industry data from journals, white papers, news articles and websites. Students are required
to build a business case using data collated; define a business problem/opportunity; and
arrive at clear research objectives to meet the business challenges. It is required to defend
ones proposal to the panel of mentors from faculty and industry before commencing
research.

RO
THE SECOND STAGE, worth 3 credits is the process of conducting the research. Students
begin by fine-tuning their research proposal based on the panels feedback. In this stage, they
are required to conduct primary research (filed research), where they follow a two-pronged
research process that is both qualitative and quantitative. Each student carries out in-depth
analysis using various research tools and techniques to arrive at strategic recommendations
with managerial implications.

On completion of the research project, students present and communicate the results to the
senior management industry mentor resulting in recognition and career growth. In the past,
these dissertations have helped many of our participants obtain recognition and success in
their own organisations.
