DUBAI // The popularity of business courses provides many of Dubai's universities with a problem: nowhere in the UAE offers PhD programmes to develop lecturers.
The University of Dubai hopes to change that and has submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Higher Education to offer business PhDs.
About 10,000 students - most of them Emirati - have graduated from the university since it was set up in 1997 by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce. It now offers dozens of MBA and undergraduate degrees.
But as the institution has expanded it has felt an increasing need for home-grown academics, especially, says the university's president, in the areas of finance and accounting.
