1. Can the same faculty teach at Hult Boston and Hult Dubai if the sessions start at the same time at both the campuses?

2. Hult is new in dubai, what efforts is the school making to see that its students get placed after the MBA.

3. For students joining in say sept 08 in dubai, job fairs happen in May ( one happened last year in DAC/DKV ) but during this period most students would be in shanghai / boston.

4. If someone wants to complete graduation from say Boston campus (after getting enrolled to an mba starting in dubai in sept 0 , what are the ways in which one can get a job in that area?

5. Regarding Erika finance loans, will a US cosigner be required? and what is the maximum amount of loan that the institute will give ?

6. What are the scholarship amounts that are available for Dubai 2008 ?

It would be great if you could answer these questions at the earliest.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

1.Yes. Course scheduling is flexible. Courses in Boston and Dubai can be staggered to allow the same professor to teach at both campuses.

2.Hult’s corporate development team has already begun developing relationships with organizations, identifying recruitment opportunities and gathering industry updates for the region. Our Dubai based Corporate Development staff are meeting with recruiters and hiring managers (multinationals & local firms) across the region to ensure that Hult graduates have access to employment opportunities in the region in 2009

3.All relevant career fairs in DKV and DIAC, will be attended by Hult Career Development staff to develop and deepen contacts, and recruiters at the fair would be able to consider suitable students for roles by referring to the CV book or the online database of student resumes. Understanding that recruitment opportunities happen throughout the year, both Career Services and Corporate Development will endeavor to keep students informed, updated, and in contact with hiring firms. We will do this by offering access to Virtual Career Fairs (see: MBA-Exchange bi-annual Global MBA Virtual Career Fair), posting job opportunities and contacts via our careers website, and working with faculty and administration to allow you time off to attend important recruitment events (case-by-case).

4.Students from both campuses are assisted by the Career Service Centers on each campus on career management; any recruitment opportunities that are surfaced by the team from the various centers would be open for application by all suitable students. There are a number of ways to pursue job opportunities in the US:
MBA Career Fairs: There are a number of MBA specific career fairs held in Boston and the US that students will have access to (and be invited to).
Corporate Events and Job Postings: Corporate Development organizes a number of corporate events (Executive Speaker Series, corporate presentations, etc) that will offer students access to jobs in the local and national arena.

5.No cosigner, no collateral is needed. 5% interest rate, repayment period is 5 years. Erika loan is need and merit based. You can qualify for up to 100% of tuition.
6. Merit based partial scholarships are available, ranging from 2% to 12% of tuition. Scholarships shrink each admissions round.
