About our Business, Innovation & Entrepreneurship Programme

Teenagers aged 16-18 are close to entering to world of business, whether through the pursuit of a university degree or by undertaking their own entrepreneurial endeavour. On our expertly crafted Business summer programme in Dubai, a major global hub of enterprise and finance, students will develop a deep understanding of the inner workings of organisations and start-up culture, giving them all the tools to thrive as well-informed young professionals.

Students aged 16-18 will benefit from a rigorous and thoroughly contemporary course, encompassing a well-considered balance of theoretical and practical learning. They will develop a profound understanding of business and entrepreneurship by:

– Gaining a comprehensive overview of how market trends, emerging technologies, and socio-cultural influences affect businesses

– Exploring the concept of investment and its impact on global economics across different sectors

– Analysing real-world case studies to glean deep insights into the mechanisms of commercial success and failure

– Collaborating on hands-on projects to map out actionable strategies

– Drawing inspiration from a dynamic range of workshops, seminars, and talks from business leaders and experts

A holistic education nurtures an individual’s ability to coexist and cooperate effectively with other people, regardless of the situation or professional context they might find themselves in. Our programmes help students develop crucial ‘soft’ skills to thrive across the board through:

– A wide range of extracurricular activities, giving them the opportunity to network with peers and implement problem-solving in the real word

– A debating and public speaking society, to improve their confidence in addressing an audience

– Helping students master time management and embrace accountability through the introduction of independent study

– Workshops and masterclasses targeting career pathways and the competitive university application process

Our courses go beyond the classroom, helping students to develop essential work and life skills so as to be able to hit the ground running upon starting their careers. Attendees will cultivate the adaptability to secure future success by:

– Partaking in opportunities to hone presentation skills, such as seminars and the end-of-course challenge and exhibition days

– Developing crucial interpersonal skills such as active listening and negotiation through classroom collaboration

– Developing their professional portfolios by working on industry grade projects, such as developing a business plan and marketing strategy

– Networking with fellow students, tutors, and leading minds across diverse industries

It is impossible to understate how the lay of the land has changed over the past few decades. Students will explore the impact of burgeoning technologies such as AI upon the future of enterprise, influencer marketing in the digital age, and the changes wrought upon investment – and, as a consequence, the global economy – by the vicissitudes of Covid-19 and the advent of Fintech.

Experience the excitement of Dubai

Set against a backdrop of stunning skyscrapers and deep-rooted cultural traditions, Dubai offers an inspiring environment where innovation meets heritage. Students will not only engage deeply with their chosen subjects but also gain firsthand insight into a global hub of business, technology, and design.

Beyond the classroom, our programme includes extraordinary excursions: take in the sweeping city views from the iconic Burj Khalifa, wander through the historic souks of Old Dubai along the Dubai Creek, enjoy a luxury yacht tour of the Marina, and explore the grandeur of the UAE’s capital with a day trip to Abu Dhabi. Dubai promises a truly enriching and unforgettable spring experience.
