Destination Dubai

Almost every country in the world would like to bring in the top and brightest specialists to its universities or schools (and tap into some of that intellect in their economy), but not all have the means to do so. Although the U.S. and Europe still lead many of the lists of best universities, other countries , even some lesser ones, are working hard to deliver some stern international competition, building enormous education cities and cutting-edge universities that are designed to bring in students from all over the world. While some still have a long way to go, others are proving that top-tier higher education is going to be a far more global game in the near future.

In the past 15 years or so Dubai has become a fabulous tourist destination with its world class structures, tourism, breaking world records and hoteling industry, but it has also come into international spotlight for the number of International recognized, top class Universities it houses. It’s no surprise that Dubai is jumping on the education hub bandwagon, as the country is known for doing just about everything on a grand scale. Dubai has vigorously pursued branch campuses from top schools around the world, building an astonishing range of international branch campuses that includes programs at over 25 different colleges from around the world. These programs are accommodated in four different education hubs in Dubai: Dubai Knowledge Village, Dubai International Financial City, Dubai Health Care City, and Dubai Silicon Oasis

It caters to the needs and demands of its people in every aspect of life, be it tourism, education or business; Dubai continues to be viewed an extremely attractive destination for aspiring professionals. It is a dynamic, multi-cultural city, attracting people that come in search of the countless opportunities and endless possibilities that the bustling city has to offer. The city offers a moderately cheaper choice for students to live and pursue their education.  . Every one caters to a specific type of student and many are linked with programs from big name schools like Harvard, Cambridge, Boston University, Heriot Watt University, American University in Dubai, Canadian University in Dubai, Middlesex University and HULT International Business School, S P Jain school of global management; to mention just a few that offer students a chance to get a degree at the bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral levels, offering uncompromised quality and affordable educational programmes, and also allowing the students to relocate to the main campus, be it in USA, CANADA and AUSTRALIA to mention but a few.

No doubt that Dubai is leading the way in becoming an education hub, for itself and in years to come, will be a place to be recognised for its major contribution in education in the world map. All thanks to a great visionary leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,  Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates.
