Expert Answers
Will my master's in Australia, the UK or the UAE take one year, or two to three years?
→Most master's programmes in Australia, the UK and the UAE take one to two years. Australia is typically 1 to 2 years full-time, most full-time taught UK master's degrees take 12 months, and UAE duration varies by university. Three-year master's programmes are rare.
Which MBA courses abroad have good salary prospects if I am looking at the US, UK, Canada, Singapore, UAE or Malaysia?
→No single country wins on salary alone. The US and Canada tend to offer high post-MBA salaries but costly tuition, while the UK, Singapore, the UAE and Malaysia often have one-year programmes with lower tuition. Compare programme length, fees, post-study work options and job market access.
Which master's specialization in the UAE suits my risk management background, professional doctorate and extensive work experience?

Do I need to attend college regularly for my MBA in New Zealand or the UAE, or can I study part-time from home?
→You will typically need to attend classes regularly in New Zealand, since a student visa usually requires full-time enrolment. Part-time study is possible only in special cases, such as your final semester or under visitor-visa arrangements. UAE student residence rules also apply, so check attendance with your institution.
Which master's course in the UAE suits my biology background, MBA and 35 months of work experience?
