Checks for a Dubai campus and its qualification

What to ask before choosing
Campus and provider
Is this the Dubai campus or another location? Confirm the institution’s current authorisation in the relevant official directory.
Awarding university
Which institution awards the qualification? Confirm the full degree title, study mode and approved programme, rather than relying on the parent university’s name.
Recognition and attestation
Review KHDA and/or federal Commission for Academic Accreditation information relevant to the institution and programme. Confirm recognition for the country or profession where you intend to use the degree.
Read the course fee, payment schedule, scholarship conditions and refund terms. A discount may depend on grades, deadlines or maintaining academic progress.
Ask the university for its sponsorship charges and what they include. Budget for any required insurance, medical checks, Emirates ID and renewal costs.
Compare actual housing near the campus with commuting costs. Include food, utilities, flights and the months you will remain in Dubai between teaching periods.
Use the campus’s own admissions policy. Ask whether a different test, previous English-medium study or a placement assessment is accepted for that exact course.
Get the accepted evidence and any foundation or language conditions in writing. An IELTS exemption does not mean the course has no English requirement.
The UAE’s official guidance allows sponsorship by the accredited university or college. Universities facilitate the process; obtain the campus’s document and fee checklist.
An eligible parent resident in the UAE can be another sponsorship route. The applicable conditions depend on the student’s circumstances. Admission alone does not create residence permission.
Check degree recognition and professional requirements where you plan to work or study next. KHDA degree certification has a defined scope; it is not a universal professional licence.
An internship, a job offer and employment residence permission involve separate conditions. Ask how any course placement is arranged and review the applicable work route before planning to stay.
