Master's Degree in Business Administration

The Master of Business Administration Program at the Faculty of Business and Economics, Al-Quds University, is one of the earliest graduate programs in business administration in Palestine. Established in 1996, the program has played a significant role in preparing professional and managerial leaders capable of enhancing institutional performance and strengthening the competitiveness of Palestinian organizations in a rapidly changing business environment.

Since its establishment, the program has continuously sought to keep pace with developments in management sciences and the evolving needs of the local, regional, and international labor markets. Its academic plan and learning content are regularly updated to reflect contemporary trends in business, economics, management, and technology.

As part of this continuous development, the program’s academic plan was updated for the 2026/2027 academic year to be more responsive to the demands of the knowledge economy and digital transformation. This update reflects the program’s commitment to preparing students to engage with contemporary business issues, including artificial intelligence in business, business and data analytics, digital business transformation, entrepreneurship in the digital age, marketing management in the digital age, managerial economics and decision-making, and business ethics.

The updated plan also strengthens the program’s focus on developing leadership competencies, analytical thinking, evidence-based decision-making, and research-informed managerial practice. It aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and professional values needed to lead organizations, manage change, and respond effectively to complex business challenges.

The program combines advanced academic knowledge with practical application through modern teaching and learning approaches, including case studies, applied projects, interactive discussions, analysis of real-world business problems, and research-based assignments. Accordingly, the program goes beyond the traditional delivery of theoretical knowledge and focuses on developing students’ abilities in analysis, innovation, strategic thinking, and organizational leadership.

The MBA Program consists of 36 credit hours and offers two study tracks: the thesis track and the non-thesis track, which includes a comprehensive examination and a graduation project. The program is designed to meet the needs of working professionals by offering a flexible and academically rigorous learning experience that enables students to advance their professional and academic careers. It seeks to graduate competent leaders who are capable of assuming managerial positions in public and private institutions, launching entrepreneurial ventures, and contributing to the development of more efficient, sustainable, and competitive organizations.
