is being offered in both blended and online modes of delivery.
After much extensive research which included gathering data from corporates
and alumni, we believe we have developed a truly world-class program which
is at the leading edge of applied practice and theory. Some of the many new
courses include Leadership and Cross-Cultural Management, and Corporate
Governance and Ethics. New electives such as New Ventures and Mergers and
Acquisitions are being offered.
Of course, the new EMBA builds upon the many successes of the past such as
the program being ranked in 2019 in the World’s Top 100 (81st) and Asia Pacific’s
Top 10 (7th) by Ivy Exec. The S P Jain EMBA has had a rich history which started
in Dubai in 2004.
S P Jain has made a major strategic investment in technology these past few
years. Online courses are now taught through the cutting-edge Engaged
Learning Online platform. This enables students to study in real-time at home
or work via a virtual classroom.
The EMBA is taught by our world-class core faculty as well as through sourcing
faculty from leading business schools from around the world.
Graduating from S P Jain means that you have a globally branded EMBA which
is widely recognised around the world. Should you choose to apply, and be

We launched the program in Dubai in 2004 and have since, welcomed 50 batches (by July 2022) of quality managers
and professionals, and graduated over 2,300 students, who have gone on to achieve excellence in their careers. Doing
an EMBA from S P Jain is a personal transformation journey in self-discovery.
3. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CAREER GROWTH, DURING AND AFTER THE EMBA
The curriculum focuses on developing visionary future leaders. It fosters students to develop and apply the whole gamut
of knowledge and skills to value-add benefits to themselves and their organisations. These skills include critical thinking,
time management, problem-solving, decision-making, generating innovative solutions, effective written and verbal
communication, and all-round capacity for leadership.
Our EMBA program, tailored for busy working professionals like you, is offered in two
unique formats that minimise your time away from work and family, and help you develop
the skills needed to speed up your momentum at work.
Many of our current EMBA students balance several roles at home and work, and they will
tell you how our program has enabled them to take up greater responsibilities at work,
make winning decisions and experience unmatched career growth, all while successfully
managing their time and family.
Not only is ELO convenient and flexible, but what really sets it apart is its
emphasis upon engagement. You will connect with peers and faculty from different
countries, collaborate on assignments, discuss, debate and deliberate, ask
questions, participate in polls, quizzes and breakout sessions- just like you would
do in a conventional face-to-face classroom. The technology is designed to help
you stay active and invested while also enabling you to develop the confidence
to take on future leadership challenges.

offer such immersive online experiences to their students, and S P Jain is amongst the very first in Asia to do so.
CAREER
PROGRESSION
The EMBA is designed in a way that induces students to think, ask the right questions, analyse, work in
teams, communicate professionally, be innovative, proactive, open-minded, and carry a positive attitude. In
short, all the attributes of becoming a future leader. Year after year, we have witnessed graduates return to
their organisations, seize opportunities and apply the lessons they learn in class and boost their careers. We, at
S P Jain, are very proud of these graduates. Here are some examples:
Of all the knowledge, skills and experience that you bring to your company, the most
valuable one is the ability to make winning decisions. After all, great decision-making
is one of the hallmarks of great leadership. But how do you gain the confidence to
manage risks, communicate persuasively and make confident decisions?
The S P Jain EMBA is built on the principle that leaders, no matter what type, will be
faced with many difficult and different decisions. Combining case studies, discussions
and debates, real-world tools, and simulations, you will explore new approaches to
decision-making, apply the theories you learn in class to real-world contexts, boost
your learning through practice, and discover the formula common to all good decisions.

STUDENT
EXPERIENCES
“One of the major reasons I wanted to study at SP Jain was the School’s
reputation for delivering high-quality education with global standards through
excellent campus facilities, cutting-edge technology, and highly qualified faculty
members. Additionally, the EMBA classes were held on the weekends which
gave me the flexibility to study and work at the same time. Being a student at SP
Jain has also given me opportunities to network with other professionals within
and outside my industry and to learn beyond the four walls of the classroom.”
While my first impression of the ELO classroom was great, my first experience
was even greater. The level of engagement between the faculty and the
students was exactly like within a physical classroom, and this made my
experience delightful and effortless right from the start.”

opportunities are enormous. It is helping me understand my strengths and
