Dubai

Our first international campus

With its state-of-the-art facilities, impressive selection of courses and verdant, landscaped surroundings, our Dubai campus holds the distinction of being our first academic institution outside the United Kingdom.

We welcomed our inaugural cohort of students in January 2005, and we're proud to see that number rise to more than 2,500 students of more than 90 different nationalities. During their course, our students gain internationally recognised British qualifications – as well as earn the exciting opportunity to study at our Hendon campus in London.

What do we teach?

Our courses in pre-undergraduate, undergraduate and postgraduate study span Accounting and Finance, Business and Management, Computing and IT, Education, Law and Politics, Marketing, Media and Communications, Psychology, Social Science and International Tourism Management. We also offer professional short courses to boost your career.

Exceptionally high academic standards worldwide

We achieved the highest possible endorsement from the UK's Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. And those rigorous procedures apply to all of our academic courses, wherever they're taught in the world.

Which means, if you study at our campus in Dubai, your course undergoes the same validation and monitoring system as the course our students in London enjoy – with the same exams taken simultaneously in both cities and identical Honours degrees awarded.

Inspirational surroundings – on and off campus

Our campus is set in the Knowledge Village, part of the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone, and boasts an inspiring academic environment with its state-of-the-art, purpose-built facilities for student-centred learning. Outside of the classroom, you can find sports facilities, a bookshop, food court and prayer rooms – as well as plenty of commercial and retail outlets to choose from.

The surrounding areas also have much to contribute. Dubai stands as a modern, vibrant, cosmopolitan city with unprecedented economic growth, thanks to recent policies encouraging strategic commercial ventures. Many know it as a leading holiday destination – with its soaring temperatures and endless sunshine – where tourists can savour a peaceful, tolerant and multicultural setting against a backdrop of groundbreaking infrastructure and architecture.
