SBA boasts the region's first fully equipped Interactive Trading Floor (ITF), providing students and faculty access to real-time financial markets and microeconomic data via 24 Bloomberg terminals in an exact replica of a typical Wall Street or Dubai International Financial Center trading floor.

SBA graduate students are often busy individuals with significant work and other commitments.

For those wanting to complete their studies quickly, full-time options are available (the MBA can be completed in as little as 15 months). While for those working full-time, part-time study options are available.
