Hi, I will soon move to Dubai. I have done some research on universities and have short listed:
University of Wollongong in Dubai
American University in Dubai
British University in Dubai
Canadian University Dubai
University of Dubai

The above universities are accredited by Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research in UAE, and in all GCC countries. I want to choose one them for studying MBA (Master of Business Admin).

I will be very busy with my business, family and other commitments. Therefore, although it might sound strange, but I would like to join the EASIEST university. I want to choose a place which will not require spending much of my time on studying and doing assignments. I need to pick a uni from the list that will let me get the MBA with MINIMUM effort and study.

Kindly advise which of universities to consider. I would appreciate if you can sort the universities in the above list in an order of (1) Easiest (2) Harder…
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for your replies. comp99, I got admission in some of the universities. I checked entry requirements of the others and I do have the requirements, so there should not be any problems. sourskittleashnut, Pirlz, Thanks for the info. Campus location should not be a problem and I can arrange transportation for that. In general, what I have understood, American uni seems to be harder than Wollongong. So, Wollongong is a better choice for me. I would like to know about the difficulty level of the other universities mentioned. I did some researching and then I named the 5 universities which I mentioned in the beginning of this thread. They are all accredited in UAE and across GCC countries and they all are good universities. Therefore, as long as I choose one of the 5 universities, I should be getting a good education. However, since I will be very busy with several commitments, I thought to choose the EASIEST uni among the lis,t that will require the MINIMUM study and effort. Your inputs are highly appreciated.

I did my masters at Wollongong, while some think its easier (it may be, I'm not sure), the workload is quite heavy. They are accommodating to an extent, but the workload in itself is extensive, but I do recommend them highly.

Since you will be working you should also choose a university close to you. Canadian University is at the beginning if Sheikh Zayed Road. AUD is at the other end. I went to AUD for Undergrad and I've heard their Masters program is quite intense. A lot of ppl from AUD went to Wollongong for Masters since it was comparatively easier.
