CUC Ulster Offers its Unique Programme, MBA Women in Leadership

In 2021, CUC launched a unique and innovative MBA programme designed to develop, inspire, and prepare the women leaders of the future. The enhanced MBA is the only one of its kind in the Middle East and was devised by the Executive Dean, Richard Hollywood, who felt there was a need for a programme that allowed like-minded female managers and leaders to develop their skills and talents in order to further their career. What makes this different from any other MBA programme, is its unique augmented structure which is designed to provide an enhanced learning and professional development experience above and beyond the more traditional aspects of the MBA itself. Through a series of complementary additional workshops, coaching sessions, access to international business networks and guest speakers, you will travel through a professional learning and career enhancement journey unlike no other. In addition, students enjoy 2 year’s complimentary membership (including access to the resources) to the Institute of One World Leadership – who’s Positive Value Leadership model has members in over 110 countries. Their aim is to develop leaders so that they become exemplars to society and a catalyst for the adoption of social change for the benefit of all humanity.

The need to empower women to become economically self-reliant and increase their participation in the labour market and in entrepreneurship was identified as a priority in the Qatar Second National Development Strategy (2018-2022) and forms part of Human Development – one of the pillars of the Qatar National Vision 2030.

8 Reasons to Choose CUC Ulster University

1) You can obtain a UK degree right here in Qatar - without the additional cost of travel and accommodation. You shouldn’t underestimate the significant cost of studying abroad over a 3 to 4-year period to achieve a Bachelors degree. With CUC, you can complete a UK Bachelor Honours degree with Ulster University, as though you were studying in the UK. No visa or costly accommodation and living costs!

2) You have the choice of two routes to a Bachelors degree
We believe in education for all but not that one size fits all. We all learn in different ways and we appreciate that academic study is not right for everyone. That’s why we offer two routes to achieving a Bachelors degree. You can enroll in an internationally recognized BTEC Higher National Diploma (HND) qualification, a vocational qualification which is equivalent to the first 2 years of a Bachelors degree. BTEC HNDs are more practical than Bachelor degrees. There are no formal exams and you have the opportunity to apply your theoretical learning to real life business situations.
After achieving your BTEC HND, you can then either leave with a Diploma or ‘top it up’ to a full Bachelors degree with us without any further bridging units. No other university in Qatar provides this seamless integration between a BTEC HND and a Bachelors degree.

3) You can progress straight to a Masters programme at a special rate
A Masters qualification can take you to new career heights and really boost your chances of a promotion or a better job. If you decide to stay with us after completing your Bachelors degree, you will automatically be entitled to a CUC scholarship progression award, making a significant saving on the cost of tuition fees for this prestigious qualification. In addition, your immediate family can also benefit from further special rates and incentives.

4) You will obtain a more personalised experience
Our students are central to everything we do and so we ensure that everyone is treated as a special individual. We appreciate that everyone is different and so everyone that enrolls on a course with us is supported and guided by their very own Personal Learning Advisor. Our Advisors understand your needs and they will meet with you on a regular basis to ensure you are on track to achieve your learning aims. They act as a support and can help with anything and everything you need. Unlike some larger universities, you will never feel anonymous at CUC. We treat everyone with the respect they deserve, allowing them to flourish and achieve. Your success is our success!

5) We are a University with proven academic success and first class lecturers
We have an excellent record at helping students exceed their potential. Our academic staff are exceptionally well qualified with years of both academic and professional experience. All our lecturers are approved by Ulster University to teach on their programmes, which should give you confidence that you are being taught by the very best. In addition, all our staff are both friendly and approachable. They are employed to serve you – that’s the CUC Commitment.

6) We offer the best value degrees in Qatar
We are confident that our qualifications and courses represent the best value in Qatar. Our tuition fees are very competitive. But we know, quality is just as important so we never compromise on this. You can be assured you are receiving the best opportunity to achieve the highest grades possible. We are so confident of this that we invite prospective students to visit and sample a lesson before they decide to apply or enroll.

7) We have a range of accessible and flexible study options to suit you
Many of our students are already in employment and so we offer opportunities to study for a qualification at a time that suits them. Some elements of our programmes are delivered online meaning you can always catch up by watching the lesson later. This flexibility can be great for balancing your studies with your other commitments.

8) Scholarships to make you academic ambitions more affordable
We understand that education can be expensive, which is why we provide a range of scholarships and opportunities to make it easier to pay for your Diploma or Degree. Please contact us to speak to someone about how affordable a degree or Higher National Diploma can be.
