“Dubai continues to strengthen its emergence as a leading destination for international higher education. The rise in the number of international campuses opening in Dubai and the diversity of programs available is attracting more international students to study in the city. This progress speaks to the quality of education offered by universities and their commitment to building a truly world-class higher education sector. We look forward to working with university leaders to further advance Dubai’s position as a regional and international higher education hub,” stated the Director-General of KHDA, Dr. Abdulla Al Karam.

The data on graduates indicated that more than 80% of students who graduated from a higher education institution in Dubai in the past two academic years were either employed or continuing their educational pursuits.

In the past three academic years, there has been a 21% increase in the number of programs provided by international institutions, with business, engineering, and information technology degrees proving to be the highest in demand among students from abroad and Emiratis.
