Why Dubai?
Before delving into Dubai’s top universities, let’s discuss first the reasons why you should study in Dubai. Aside from
its quality and world-class education, here are other reasons why you should study in Dubai.
First off, Dubai itself can offer a lot of opportunities to international students. In fact, Dubai is hailed as the richest city
in the Middle East, and one of the richest in the world. It is all thanks to its oil reserves that has catapulted the city,
and the whole UAE, into being a wealthy country.
Also, in recent years, the UAE government has made staying in the UAE more accessible for them. Instead of the
usual one-year study visa that students have to process to extend every year, the UAE government has also
introduced a five-year student visa. Students who perform exceptionally well are eligible to apply for a 10-year
residency, which can make it easier to work and stay in Dubai after the student graduates.
Aside from the opportunities students can get, Dubai is also a diverse country, and one of the safest countries in the
world, which is even safer than other European countries such as the UK, and France.
