perspectives
Below are quotes from DBA alumni, sharing their thoughts on their placement and consulting project experiences, the learning modules, the impact of coaching, and the programme overall, as well as thoughts and reflections from DBA programme partners and supporters.
I have already learnt so much about the world and myself in these few months. The longer I stay in Dubai, the more certain I am that I would like to stay here.
On the learning modules: Being an entrepreneur here in Dubai could really be a realistic option. Never saw myself become one before this module.
On coaching: I have been working a lot at choosing the right career that would suit me best. We have discussed different companies and career paths I could go into. Now, I feel more secure about my career choice.
My world view changed completely - you can start your own company, meet the ambassadors of a country, all is possible in Dubai if you're active enough.
The incredibly comprehensive nature of DBA makes it a massive learning experience which will help me along my career. The consulting project as a whole is the strongest plank of the year - no matter who your client is or what your project entails, you grow in a way that cannot happen in a classroom. Conducting a real consulting project with supplemental coaching along the way allowed me to learn quickly and will help me down the line.
