Online & New Capital Campus
Gulf talent strategy fails when localisation is a colour on a vendor slide. This degree treats quotas, sponsorship, and professional recognition as a single workforce system. You will map which roles can be localised without fake titles, how family enterprises hide expatriate decision rights, and why attestation of overseas HR certificates is not evaluation of skill. Vision 2030 and peer GCC programmes are operating calendars: giga-projects, female labour participation, and oil-to-services shifts. You will write a bilingual workforce memo that survives a labour inspection narrative without claiming you are the inspector, and you will design manager training that does not insult Arabic-medium graduates. The award is academic. It is not SHRM, not a government secondment, and not AU/UN youth-employment branding. It is for planners who must keep localisation honest when recruitment marketing has already promised a nationalisation percentage. You will model a localisation pathway for a family firm that still hides decisions with expatriate titles, write a bilingual job advert that does not invent a licence, and interrogate a quota dashboard for incentive-to-lie. GCC medicals and sponsorship artefacts appear as workforce constraints, not as immigration practice. Tuition-free online. No CIPD, ministry, or LAS logos in photography. MSc Gulf Talent, Localisation and Workforce Planning is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 4 Semesters (2 Years), and the credit total is 36. Students move from GCC Labour Supply and Quota Instruments through GCC Labour Supply and Quota Instruments; Job Architecture without Fake Titles; Female Participation and Stay-in-Post Design; Family Enterprise Decision Rights; Sponsorship Files and Mobility Risk; Attestation versus Evaluation of HR Credentials, and finish on Writing for Boards and Labour Narratives. 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: Model a localisation pathway without fake job titles Write EN+AR workforce memos a board can fund Separate attestation of HR certificates from skill evaluation 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: labour-market maths, localisation design, bilingual HR files, and a workforce capstone. Tuition-free online. No CIPD/ministry logo photography.

| IUC1701 | GCC Labour Supply and Quota Instruments GCC Labour Supply and Quota Instruments (IUC1701) is a 3-credit course on MSc Gulf Talent, Localisation and Workforce Planning, with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can find where time or cost is lost and recommend one operational change, using GCC Labour Supply and Quota Instruments as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a process map, a capacity note, and a disruption case. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation for one lane, site, or service with the cost and the risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.
