4 Why do you need this booklet? This booklet is designed to give students, parents and career counsellors the information they need about the universities and colleges in Dubai s free zones. It covers general information about each institution, as well as the specific programmes of study offered. We provide you with reliable and consistent information about 28 universities and colleges in the purpose-built free zones of Dubai They offer a minimum of one-year diplomas, including vocational education programmes, but online or distance education programmes have not been included. We hope the information will help you decide on the right institution and course for you. The information used throughout this booklet was collected directly from the institutions concerned in November Why study in Dubai? Its strategic location and multi-cultural atmosphere make Dubai a fascinating environment in which to study. The advantages of an ultra-modern city, with excellent infrastructure and a vibrant youth culture, have helped ensure that higher education in Dubai has grown dramatically over the last decade. Quality higher education opportunities in Dubai, which build skills essential to drive economic growth and development, equip young people with choices that shape their future and that of the country. How much do courses cost? Fees vary considerably depending on the institution and the type of qualification sought. In the entry for each university we show you the fee range for each level of study. 4 Study in Dubai international campuses

5 What are the employment opportunities after graduation? In addition to the employability data for each institution, which is based on data gathered in 2012, we bring you a number of real-life stories of Dubai s graduates. What is an international campus? In addition to its other universities, Dubai now has the largest number of international campuses in the world - making Dubai one of the top locations for higher education students to study. These campuses are popular with students because they allow them to study in Dubai and obtain an internationally recognised degree. As well as attracting international students to the emirate from abroad, these universities are much in demand from Emiratis and resident expatriates. There are international campuses in Dubai from ten different countries - US, UK, India, Australia, France, Pakistan, Iran, Canada, Russia and Lebanon. How is quality assured? Students who graduate from higher education institutions in the free zones have their degrees certified by Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) for employment and other purposes in Dubai. The University and Quality Assurance International Board (UQAIB) was established by KHDA in 2008 to assure the quality of higher education in institutions in the free zones. This is an independent board of higher education experts from around the world who ensure that the academic programme being delivered in the international campus is the same as that provided at the home campus of the institution. UQAIB has been designed to provide an international approach to quality assurance that will allow foreign higher education providers to award international degrees through the international campus model. Twenty institutions are currently reviewed by UQAIB. They offer international programmes that are accredited by the quality agency of their home countries and may also have programme accreditation from external professional bodies. The Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA), which is part of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, also licenses some institutions in the free zones.
