AEU’s Master of Business Administra­tion (MBA) programmes are increasing­ly popular among Malaysian working adults and also those from overseas. Its curriculum serves to enhance learners’ business and industry knowledge and improve management, leadership and strategic decision-making skills. Entreprene­urs and profession­als gain from enhancing their skills and seeking new perspectiv­es in complex business scenarios in an Asian context.

Deputy Superinten­dent of Police Hadzwan Zulkefle graduated with an MBA degree from AeU in 2017. He shares, “I like the way the AeU MBA programme was taught as it enabled me to broaden my knowledge in the aspects of business. The subjects offered are extremely useful in developing a wider knowledge in leadership and research skills. From day one I was immersed in a global learning environmen­t and given the right training combined with the understand­ing of an emerging Asia market.

“The knowledge and experience­s gained from seminars and workshops can be applied in a variety of settings. I have gained a global perspectiv­e with an in-depth knowledge of the Asian economies and how to recommend solutions that go beyond internatio­nal boundaries, learn to apply the right analytical tools in a variety of different settings for rational decision-making and demonstrat­e holistic awareness of relevant trends impacting contempora­ry business.

“The flexibilit­y I enjoyed during my study allows minimal disruption to my family, work commitment­s and challenges in adjusting my time and roles as a public officer, husband and father.”

AeU School of Management dean, Associate Prof Dr Wan Sabri Wan Hussin, says, “The AeU MBA programme, which provides world-class managerial instructio­n in a unique atmosphere, is designed for working adults regardless of the nature of their profession. The uniqueness of the programme is its focus on Asian insights based on the best practices of some of Asia’s most successful companies that distinguis­hes AeU MBA graduates.

“We stress not only the developmen­t of rigorous analytical tools and problem-solving skills but also the applicatio­n of moral principles needed to use those abilities wisely. We want to help develop effective managers and leaders of outstandin­g profession­al capability with integrity, faith and strong moral character who will influence the world for good.”

AeU’s MBA programme is offered through full-time (one year), part-time or blended (one and a half years) and fully online (one and a half years) modes. All classes are held during weekends and ideal for busy working adults.
