Hello everyone,

I've been considering the MBA program at the Arab Open University, which offers a dual degree in collaboration with the Open University UK.
I'm particularly interested in hearing opinions from those who have any experience or knowledge about the program's reputation, curriculum, and the value of the dual degree in the job market.
If you've graduated from or are currently enrolled in this program, how has your experience been? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

That's an unbeatable price for a triple crown MBA.

Are all the locations blended, or can you take it online only?

It's all blended in Arab Open University locations in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan.

But the fees I mentioned above are for Arab Open University in Egypt

If they opened up in Qatar or the UAE they would have a lot of students. But I think this is a very important development in Egypt, where there are a lot of weak MBA options. $2,600 is a lot of money in Egypt but its an astonishingly low price for a triple crown MBA especially one with classroom support.

So, How do you perceive the quality of courses offered by the OU? Moreover, is its reputation solid on a global scale?

In Britain, its rock-solid. Very highly respected. Of course it doesn't have the snob value of the Russell Group but academically it is absolutely their peer.

Globally, I think awareness of it is limited to the Commonwealth countries.
