The Master of Science (MSC) in Business Administration program at EUCLID University is a research‑intensive program designed for students who seek advanced academic depth and rigorous methodological training. While sharing a common core of advanced business knowledge with the MBA, the MSc track places a stronger emphasis on research design, data analysis and scholarly writing. It is ideal for aspiring researchers, academics, policy analysts and professionals who aim to pursue doctoral studies or occupy senior analytical roles in government, international organizations and the private sector.
Because EUCLID is the world's only global intergovernmental treaty‑based university, the MSc curriculum is truly global in perspective, respecting diverse cultural and economic contexts and avoiding a narrow Western paradigm. This unique intergovernmental status also provides access to rare datasets, practitioner networks, and internship opportunities that are not available at conventional universities.
The EUCLID MSc in Business Administration is a 42‑credit‑hour program (36 credits of coursework plus a 6‑credit formal Thesis). Students complete 11 core courses (33 credits) , 1 elective course (3 credits) , and a research‑driven Thesis. The curriculum offers a solid foundation in all core business disciplines (accounting, finance, marketing, strategy, operations, organizational behavior) while adding a dedicated Research Methodology course (MBA 620) that prepares students for high‑quality academic research. The entire program is delivered on Campus at our Gambia HQ .
