Is Dubai safe and should I study there?

by XL P. Educational Consultant

The vibrant city of Dubai is fast gaining a reputation as a study hub in the Middle East. Foreign universities such as Michigan, Rochester, Wollongong, Murdoch, Middlesex and others have opened campuses in specially designated areas like Academic City and Knowledge Village in Dubai.

According to QS University rankings, the best university in the entire UAE is the United Arab Emirates University in Al Ain and it stands at a world ranking of 338. No other college is even ranked. Further, the cost of studying in Dubai is almost equal to what one might pay in the countries like the US, UK, Canada, etc. Student loans and financial aid are also far more difficult to get here than in the United States. Cost of an MBA can be as high as 50,000 AED per year in colleges in Dubai.

Dubai has breathtakingly beautiful campuses with price tags to match, but they do not ensure a good education. While Dubai isn’t yet a top player in the field of higher education like the USA or the UK, there are chances that it may soon reach there.

A significant advantage to studying in Dubai, however, is that being one of the fastest growing economies and home to some of the biggest companies in the world, it presents attractive work opportunities for international students. Being a commercial hub, with all the big corporations having their branches here, students should face little difficulty in finding part-time jobs while studying.

Dubai is as safe and as harmonious a country to study in as any, however the quality of education leaves something to be desired.
