I actually think that the universities in Dubai are worth going to as an international student because of their quality education, transfer programs, and a safe environment. Last year, I went to Dubai to explore some popular universities in the country to start my higher education. I found that a number of Indian institutions have their campus in Dubai, which allows international students, including Indians, to pursue undergraduate and graduate courses in multiple specializations. 

Dubai has greatly come forward in the field of higher education. Currently, it is the home to multiple international global campuses from prestigious universities such as the University of Birmingham, Heriot-Watt, Middlesex, Murdoch, and the University of Wollongong. These campuses frequently follow the same curriculum and grading systems as their parent institutions. In some cases, your final degree may not include the term "Dubai" at all, it’s the same as what you would receive in the UK or Australia.

Why should you study in Dubai?

Unlike other students, I also had a doubts in the beginning about why I should study abroad in Dubai for my higher education. But, after analyzing the list of its advantages, I agree to continue it in Dubai. Mentioned below are some reasons why you should study in Dubai:

  • Dubai is in the UAE, which is known for providing quality education to international students. It is the home to many Indian institutions like BITS Pilani Dubai, Amity University Dubai, Manipal Academy of Higher Education Dubai, SP Jain School of Management Dubai, etc.

  • Safe and Modern infrastructure is the need of many international students, and Dubai successfully provides it to them. Dubai is among the safest countries in the world with low crime rates. Also, it has advanced infrastructure, excellent public transport, modern facilities, and a peaceful environment for international students.

  • Dubai boasts many global organizations and sectors like finance, real estate, tourism, logistics, and tech. Internships and networking opportunities are solid, especially if you plan to stay in the Gulf or MENA region after completing your degree.

  • I also analyze that the admission process at universities in Dubai is easier than any other Western universities. This provide opportunities to those students who might not get into their dream schools elsewhere. But, applicants like you must gather all the necessary documents to complete the application process.

I have searched for top universities in Dubai, where you can start your career in any course you want:

If you are looking to start your educational journey in the Middle East, South Asia, or Africa, want a globally recognized education, and appreciate the advantages of a business, tax-free environment, then yes, Dubai can be the perfect choice for you. However, if you seek academic recognition, funding opportunities, or a research-focused career, you may find Europe or North America more advantageous.
