Yes, you can pursue MBA programs in Australia, the UK, and the UAE while working, but the rules depend on the country and your visa.

- Australia: Student visa holders can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks. The job must be in Australia.
- UK: Student visa holders can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during vacations. The job must be in the UK.
- UAE: International students are generally not permitted to work during their studies on a student visa.

Working remotely for an employer in India or Dubai while studying abroad is generally not allowed under typical student visa conditions.
