Regent Middle East proudly celebrates the achievement of its Pearson BTEC Level 3 Business students, who successfully reached the finals of the Curtin Business Cup Challenge (BCC) 2026, organised by Curtin University Dubai.

The competition brought together student teams from across the UAE to demonstrate their business knowledge, entrepreneurial thinking, teamwork and problem-solving skills through practical challenges.

The Curtin Business Cup Challenge provides a platform for students to explore real-world business problems, develop innovative ideas and present their solutions in a competitive learning environment.

An Outstanding Performance by Regent Students

Representing Regent Middle East were Fathima Mohamed Ali Maricar, Eva Kuznetsova, Thabitha Sharon and Kourosh Nourozian.

The team demonstrated strong business skills throughout the competition, delivering impressive results in both qualifying rounds.

These outstanding scores earned the Regent Middle East team a place among the Curtin Business Cup Challenge 2026 finalists.

Although they did not secure the championship title, reaching the finals was a significant achievement and reflected their ability to apply classroom knowledge to real-world business situations.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

The Curtin Business Cup Challenge provided students with valuable exposure to entrepreneurship, critical thinking, business planning and collaborative problem-solving.

By participating in the competition, students had the opportunity to strengthen their communication skills, develop creative solutions and experience the importance of teamwork in a competitive business environment.

Their achievement highlights the importance of practical learning within the Pearson BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business at Regent Middle East, where students develop industry-relevant skills through assignments, projects and teamwork.

Such experiences encourage students to connect their academic knowledge with practical business challenges while building confidence in their abilities.
