ADSM Abu Dhabi School of Management

The Abu Dhabi School of Management’s vision is to become the leading internationally benchmarked institute of higher learning in the UAE and Gulf region, offering undergraduate and graduate management degrees within an entrepreneurial ecosystem.



As we have globally entered into an entirely new economy, it logically follows that we need an entirely new approach to management. Where the old economy relied on production and labor, the new economy relies on knowledge and innovation. As such, managers will have to learn to create, optimize, adapt, and innovate. In other words, managers will have to become entrepreneurs. By educating students to become entrepreneurial managers, we aim to indoctrinate graduates with a unique mode of thought and action which is cross-applicable to any sector or initiative.

The Abu Dhabi School of Management is officially licensed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of the United Arab Emirates to award degrees in higher education and all of its academic programs have been accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation.



In addition to receiving institutional licensure and program accreditation by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the CAA, ADSM shall also pursue program accreditation through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (“AACSB”). AACSB is premised on a mission-centric philosophy and advocates continuous quality improvement within management education.
