UAE’s leading higher education institution, Capital University College has recorded a 400% increase in student intake in 2020. 

 

This incredible surge was possible with the university’s successful transition to online learning with the support of their experienced faculty and staff. 

 

This increase was led by students and professionals who are looking to upskill to future their career or seek promotion in their current employment. 

 

Despite the pandemic and its challenges, the higher education institution launched ten new bilingual programmes in exclusive partnership with Italy’s Rome Business School. These programmes are from diverse streams that are offered in dual modes of learning and languages, directly impacting the university’s student intake.

 

Since the online transition, the university has experienced an increase in productivity by 50% as most online classes are delivered through LMS software. Such software has enabled the university to make over 6,800 hours of content that can be swiftly produced, distributed and managed. As per their students, online classes have saved time as they no longer have to attend on-campus lectures and instead can use the time wisely for other assignments and project-purpose.

 

On the education front, the university has revealed that its international programme - Master of Business Administration (MBA) is the most popular programme amongst their UAE students. Capital further analyses that this is mainly due to two stand-out reasons. 

 

The working class is keen on pursuing a postgraduate programme to future proof their employment opportunities or be eligible for competitive promotions. 

Another reason being professionals opting to migrate to other countries as the programme allows students to incur WES points which is beneficial when they decide to transfer to other countries like Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

 

According to a report submitted by Capital University College’s exclusive partners, Rome Business School, students who complete MBA and Professional Master in Human Resource Management foresee the highest salary increase amongst our programmes, with an increase of 22% and 32% respectively. 

 

This has led to an increase in the university’s international students with 15% hailing from Nigeria and other African countries. The reason behind Capital being the desired education destination for Nigerian students is its flexible, affordable and quality-centric programmes. -- Tradearabia News Service
