Post by : Bianca Suleiman

Dubai, UAE – October 2025: The Frankfurt School of Finance & Management is expanding its global footprint with the launch of a new International Executive Education Centre in Dubai Knowledge Park, the region’s leading destination for learning and professional development. The new hub aims to become a centre for knowledge exchange, innovation, and leadership development — right in the heart of one of the world’s fastest-growing economic centres.

Set to open this October, the Dubai campus will offer a wide range of executive education programmes tailored to finance and corporate professionals. The portfolio includes specialised modules in corporate and private banking, wealth management, sustainable finance, real estate, fintech, investment banking, M&A, and business development. Leadership-focused programmes will also help participants enhance personal growth and managerial skills at different career stages.

Designed for everyone from junior managers to senior executives and entrepreneurs, the programmes will be available in both in-person and blended formats, lasting from a few days to up to a year. All courses will be led by Frankfurt School’s experienced faculty who bring together academic insight and practical industry experience.

The new centre’s first major event will be the International Executive Campus Week, taking place from 24 to 28 November 2025. The intensive week-long gathering will welcome executives from across the globe for immersive sessions on leadership, finance, and strategy. Nine high-impact executive programmes will be featured, including Refine Your Leadership, Treasury & Global Markets Week, Sustainable Finance, Investment – Managing Wealth, and Quantitative Credit Risk in Retail & SME Finance, among others.

By establishing its first Middle East base, Frankfurt School aims to contribute to Dubai’s ambition of becoming a global knowledge and innovation capital. Located within Dubai Knowledge Park — part of TECOM Group’s Education Cluster, which also includes Dubai International Academic City — the centre joins a thriving ecosystem that houses over 85% of students enrolled in private higher education across the emirate.

With this launch, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management is positioning Dubai as a new meeting point for international executives to learn, connect, and drive the future of global finance and responsible management.
