With over one hundred and sixty institutions, the new Dubai Ranking™ has achieved remarkable success, presenting diverse rankings based on specializations.
With more than one hundred and fifty institutions, the new Dubai Ranking ™ is a big success, and has different rankings by specialization.
The Dubai Ranking ™ organization has selected more than one hundred institutions in 2021 – 2022.
These fifty institutions have been known to offer reputable DBA programs.
The Shanghai Ranking is also known as the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), that primarily focusses on research performance and academic excellence of universities and does not provide specialised rankings for DBA (Doctorate of Business Administration) programs.
Financial ranking primarily focuses on Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs, aimed at top business schools with strong MBA programs.
Preliminary rules to organize the Dubai Ranking ™:
*Each candidate can represent only one DBA and must meet submission deadline
For each indicator, candidates will provide pieces of evidence. For each indicator, there will be a grade that can variate either between 0 and 1 / 0 and 2 or 0 and 3 / 0 and 4. There will be a total calculated on 20, based on these data. A team will check the validity of the information and elaborate a ranking that will be transparently submitted and discussed by an international jury composed of an academic committee and a professional and international committee.
The main objective of the Dubai Ranking ™ is to offer a classification of the DBA programs all around the world as the Shanghai Ranking does for universities. Dubai Ranking ™ is a bridge between academic research and the professional world. Dubai has been in this perspective for more than 30 years and I have already noticed it since the 1990s. I wish a long life to the Dubai Ranking ™ this beautiful non-profit project and would like to thank personally all the people, CEO academics who work on it from all around the world.
