EM Normandie Business School in the UAE, a subsidiary of its parent institution, has achieved two significant accreditations from the Commission for Academic Accreditations (CAA) of the Federal Government of the United Arab Emirates. These accreditations pertain to its Master’s programs in International Marketing and Business Development, as well as International Logistics and Port Management.
With these new accreditations, the school gains the authority to admit and confer diplomas to its own students, duly recognized within the UAE. Commencing in January 2024, the institution will welcome approximately thirty students to these specialized programs, who will integrate seamlessly with the existing cohorts of the Bachelor in International Management and EM Normandie Business School Programme Grande Ecole on our campuses.
Nestled within the Dubai Knowledge Park, the EM Normandie Business School campus encompasses 1,400 square meters, designed to accommodate up to 500 students. This offers an ideal setting for both living and studying in a city that is rapidly evolving, brimming with unparalleled opportunities for future graduates.
Our training programs are meticulously tailored to align with the strategic ambitions of the UAE. EM Normandie Business School equips young graduates with the skills needed to thrive in high-demand sectors such as logistics, IT project management, digital business, marketing, and sales. These programs are eagerly anticipated by French companies operating in the UAE, as they seek to bolster their workforce to meet the demands of their expanding operations and recruitment endeavors.
In line with this ethos, the UAE Ministry of Education has recently granted accreditation for a period of three years to the following programs:
- Master in International Logistics and Port Management: This program stands as the sole specialized offering in port management within the United Arab Emirates. It equips students with comprehensive knowledge and skills vital for effective logistics management and transportation processes across various roles connected to the global orchestration of logistics flows. Students become proficient in organizing international transport and managing transport hubs, such as port terminals, while also mastering the application of cutting-edge technologies and emerging innovations in the logistics domain. The pedagogical approach emphasizes practical learning through case study challenges, immersive activities like an Escape Game, and simulations of procurement processes using digital tools that encompass economic and ecological dimensions.
- Master in International Marketing and Business Development: The International Marketing and Business Development Master’s program empowers students to shape their future careers in the UAE and beyond on an international scale. It prepares them for pivotal roles in marketing and/or sales management and hones their abilities to effectively communicate with partners from diverse cultural backgrounds in a multicultural setting.
These two Master’s programs serve as valuable additions to the diverse range of courses offered by EM Normandie in the UAE. This flexibility allows mobile students from various regions to spend a year or a semester in the UAE, while international students, predominantly hailing from the Gulf States, India, and Africa, can enroll in the Bachelor in International Management program. Beginning with the 2024 academic year, BBA students will also have the opportunity to spend six months in Dubai.
All these educational offerings will be delivered by a team of local professors, professional instructors, and professor-researchers from EM Normandie Business School. Notably, six professor-researchers, along with a Dean of the Faculty, have recently joined EM Normandie UAE.
