MBA language options
Your program in your language. EBS has pioneered the delivery of its MBA courses in additional languages: simplified Chinese, Spanish, and soon Arabic. EBS Arab World is translating the following five courses into Arabic: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, and Organisational Behaviour. Five more courses will follow (Project Management, Strategic Planning, Competitive Strategy, Negotiation and Human Resource Management). The first Arabic courses were made available in 2007. EBS will be able to offer the 3 hour written examinations in Arabic across its network of international examination centres from 2007.
EBS and EBS Arab World will also appoint a network of Approved Learning Partners to provide students with tutoring and support in Arabic. All purchasers of MBA materials will be able to choose the language of their printed course text (English or Arabic), and all students will have access to PDFs of Arabic and English versions from the course websites. However, the administrative systems that underpin the MBA courses will be available only in English, so it is strongly recommended that you have a working knowledge of the English language. The final awards will not refer to the language of study.
