Applying to the United Arab Emirates from India
Licensed is not the same as accreditedEvery place here is licensed. Each programme also needs accreditation from the Commission for Academic Accreditation if you need the degree recognised by the UAE government (for a government job, say). Check the course on CAA.CAA programme list ↗
Living in the UAE already?Students on a parent's residence visa can usually study without a separate student visa. Coming from India, the university sponsors your student visa once you accept its offer.
Fees in DubaiFor Dubai's free-zone campuses we show the yearly fee range Dubai's KHDA lists. Fees change every year, so confirm on the university's own site before you plan.KHDA university list ↗
