Get this – you can now study to become an influencer in Dubai. A new diploma program is launching in the city on 8 September, which will be the region’s first accredited program of its kind.

Called the Social Media Influencers Diploma, it has been developed with an expert group of professors from the Mohammed bin Rashid School for Communication, and the American University in Dubai. The idea is to educate students so that they can produce effective content that grips attention in the overly-saturated social media sphere.
