Course Information

The International Islamic University Malaysia MBA programme was launched in 1995 as a part-time programme and has been well received by Malaysian executives. Following its success, a full-time MBA programme was introduced to cater for both local and international students. The MBA programme is specially designed to meet the needs of potential managers and executives. The programme is designed on the lines of American MBA programmes and provides students with a strong foundation in the concepts, principles and techniques of modern business management.

• develop the skills in solving business problems;
• develop leadership, communication and interpersonal skills through working in small groups and involvement in presentations and discussions;
