New batch of PIM MBA in the UAE

Adding another feather to its cap, the Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM) commenced the fifth intake of MBAs in the UAE recently. The re-launched program two years ago is conducted through a lean model involving a blended learning approach with faculty from Sri Lanka flying to Dubai on a monthly basis. PIM Director Prof. Ajantha Dharmasiri highlighted the vibrant presence of PIM’s MBA in the Middle East, in inviting the Sri Lankan expatriates to ‘be brilliant as an MBA’.
