Over the past decade, the UAE labor market has witnessed a remarkable increase in the proportion of skilled workers, IT professionals, engineering graduates, researchers, scientists, and a broad spectrum of other professionals, commonly referred to as “knowledge workers”. This trend is expected to continue as the country enters the next decade. The increasing demand for knowledge workers has created several opportunities and challenges for institutions of higher education to design graduate programs to build the skills of young people in different fields of specialization. Al Ghurair University’s Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) will effectively serve the needs of the knowledge economy with engineering professionals equipped with sophisticated managerial skills. The MSEM degree fits well with the vision of United Arab Emirates to maintain its status as a regional commercial hub and to strengthen its competitive position in the global economy. Engineering graduates, especially the MSEM degree holders, can play a potentially significant role in steering the country in the direction of greater diversification with innovative engineering ideas and appropriate strategic thinking.
Why studying MSEM
The world is changing. With the challenges facing us on a global level (sustainability, health, environmental protection) there is a new need for companies and organizations to integrate technical and business skills to solve these difficult problems. The MSEM degree bridges the gap between the field of engineering, technology and the field of business by equipping students with the technical expertise and leadership skills they need to advance their career in the fast-paced world of technology.
Program Mission
The mission of the MSEM program is to equip engineering graduates with the required competencies to successfully grow and contribute in the planning and execution of complex projects in order to sustain the UAE economic and industrial growth.
