Online only
Sovereign wealth and public investment study fails when the programme markets a job it cannot give. This degree starts with governance files: mandates, related-party risk, Islamic sleeves, and English reports that do not match Arabic parliamentary or court summaries where those exist. You will treat family enterprises as domestic co-investors, GCC labour localisation inside investment offices as a workforce problem, and attestation of overseas CFA-style certificates as not evaluation of public-mandate judgement. League of Arab States and UN development logos are not used. The award is academic. It is not SWF employment, not a dealing licence, and not fake accreditation as a national investment academy. It is for people who must keep public-investment files honest when a giga-project press release has already named a partner. You will map a public mandate against a family co-investor, write a briefing that is not dealing advice, and state in the first paragraph of any public profile that this MSc is not sovereign-wealth-fund employment. Giga-project interfaces are studied as files, not as placements. Tuition-free online. No SWF, UN development, or LAS logos in documentary stills. MSc Sovereign Wealth and Public Investment is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Public Investment Mandates as Files through Public Investment Mandates as Files; Related-Party and Domestic Co-Investors; Islamic Sleeves inside Public Portfolios; Localisation of Investment-Office Talent; Giga-Project Interfaces without Job Promises; Attestation of CFA-Style Papers versus Evaluation, and finish on Ethics of Giga-Project Press Releases. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Map a public-investment mandate as a governance file Write EN+AR briefings that are not dealing advice State explicitly that the degree is not SWF employment Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Thirty-six credits: mandate governance, public-investment operations, bilingual briefings, and a non-employment capstone. Tuition-free online. No SWF logos in photography.
