Introduction

Master the latest advances in financial technology and prepare for an exciting career in a fast-moving area, with our Fintech and Data Analysis MBA in Cairo.

You’re future-oriented and passionate about the possibilities generated by blockchain technology and digital currencies. Our Master of Business Administration course will prepare you to make your mark in a field that’s continually and rapidly innovating, developing and disrupting.

You want to learn the high-level skills required to create data-informed trading strategies, financial models and business forecasts, but you’re also ambitious and want to present a full package to employers. Alongside technical know-how, we’ll teach you how to use outputs to formulate marketing and performance strategies and help you develop as a leader.

By studying a Masters in Brand Management, you’ll gain a substantial grounding in the theory that drives the marketing function, and the skills you need to create and manage a successful brand. Taking real-world challenges as our starting point, there’s a strong focus on practical, hands-on learning, including the option to take a placement in industry.

We’ll deconstruct brands to understand the essence of their appeal, how they create demand for their product, and the ways in which they can cut across cultural boundaries. In doing this, we’ll examine a range of marketing techniques and strategies.

We’ll also consider the changing environment in which brands operate and their response to innovation, or ‘disruption’. You’ll look at the challenges brands face around ethics and sustainability, and how they can communicate their value proposition to consumers.

Studying MSc Brand Management at ARU is a great way to develop your career, sharpen your skill set, and learn more about a subject you love.
