SP Jain Global (Dubai) Merit Scholarship

SP Jain School of Global Management runs a genuinely unusual model: students spend the programme rotating between its Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney campuses rather than staying in one city, which builds a multi-market perspective into the degree structure itself. Its Bachelor of Business Administration and Global MBA both start cohorts in Dubai, and merit scholarships reduce tuition based on academic record, entrance test performance and interview. The school is Australian-accredited through its Sydney campus and licensed by KHDA in Dubai. For Sri Lankan students the practical appeal is the combination of an internationally-mobile business degree, a Gulf base within a three-and-a-half-hour flight of Colombo, and lower total costs than an equivalent Australian or UK programme. Confirm which body awards your specific degree and how it is recognised before committing, as with any multi-campus provider.

Choose the programme and starting campus

Confirm the campus rotation sequence for your intake — which cities you will study in and for how long — because it affects visa requirements, accommodation costs and total budget.

Interview and scholarship assessment

The interview and test results together determine the scholarship band. Ask for the award to be stated in writing with its duration and any renewal conditions.

Model the total cost across campuses

Living costs differ sharply between Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney. Ask the admissions team for indicative per-city living costs for your rotation before accepting.

Visas for each campus

The rotation model means multiple student visas across the degree. Confirm which visas the school sponsors, what each costs, and what the processing timelines are for a Sri Lankan passport holder.
