This 1½-year Master of Business Administration (MBA) program is offered to those who have already completed the 4-year BBA program at FAST.

Additionally, this intellectually-stimulating program is designed with a view to ‘researching’ local & regional management phenomena rather than merely ‘studying’ them. Students are taught decision-making skills through qualitative and quantitative analysis and are expected to offer vibrancy to the corporate culture.
