MBA UMG is unique program, that includes urban sector domain courses over and above core management courses. The program is designed to build multi-dextrous professionals with a spatial and systemic understanding of urban areas on one hand and functional management knowledge and skills on the other. The combination of spatial imagination and abilities, and management expertise endows a unique combination of competencies. A particularly unique attribute of the program is that it offers direct hands-on experience in workings in both the government as well as corporate organizations.

The Program is suitable for graduates in all disciplines. Those with backgrounds in Engineering, Information Technology, Infrastructure, Urban and Regional Planning, Public Policy, Economics, Finance, Accounting, Sustainability, and Architecture will find it adds enormous value to their careers. The unique integration of management education with spatial design and public systems development capabilities prepares students to analyse managerial issues in urban contexts and develop insightful, practical, and innovative solutions. The curriculum helps them decipher the complex problems of human settlements and public domain functioning, and address them in effective, ethical and inclusive ways.

The MBA-UMG program includes core and elective coursework and other learning segments of 113 credits. Each credit requires 10 hours of classroom contact or its field equivalent, and another 10 hours outside the classroom for preparatory reading and assignments. Students are thus expected to spend about 70 hours a week on their academic work. The core courses provide theoretical and practical fundamentals of management, urban development, spatial analysis, analytical frameworks and tools for field learning. These are augmented by Urban Management and Municipal Immersion (UMMI), Urban Management Internship, Habitat Practice Colloquium, Immersion Courses, Seminars and Leadership Talks.
