Oxford Executive MBA or LBS part-time Mfin

Hey guys, I work full-time and I’m interested in moving to the Middle East (Dubai or Riyadh) and I want to know which program to go for. I’m more interested in Finance as a subject, and LBS has a part-time program while Oxford doesn’t. However, if Oxford has a better reputation in the Middle East then maybe I can do the Executive MBA with a concentration in finance. If you’re familiar with the region and with the programs please let me know your opinion. Thank you

I had a deep look into the different EMBA programs for myself, Oxford has a super strong reputation for bachelors and master degrees, not sure for MBA/EMBA. But with Professor Ludo P they are doing very very very good things around private equity, very practical and academically sound. If many PE managers feel the need to go against him, it means he is teaching and doing good research. Hats off to him.

LBS prob is better known for higher / post grad education such as MFin/MBA/EMBA, classes seem very interesting and very finance focused which for me was a huge plus, plenty of extremely interesting electives.

Same as Oxford and LBS you can check out it Cambridge Master of Finance (not MPhil, the other one)

I think overall it’s not a straight choice but all are good names.
