Yes, Dubai offers several master's programs that allow part-time study while working. Many universities provide flexible schedules, such as evening or weekend classes, specifically for working professionals. Common options include part-time Executive MBAs, MSc Financial Management, and Business Analytics programs, often available in blended or online formats.

International students can work part-time during their studies with a work permit linked to the student visa. This usually requires university approval and a No Objection Certificate. You can typically work up to 15 hours/week during academic terms and full-time during official breaks (subject to change).
