WHY DUBAI
The magnetic charm of a global city.
The moment one hears the word Dubai, images of grand skyscrapers, flashy cars and vast ever-inviting coastlines fill one’s mindscape. And who hasn’t heard about the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world? Dubai, to put it simply, has that magnetic charm that fascinates us in all its glory.
But if you thought that it is all that to this charming city, you are further from the truth. Behind the glamour and glitz of the city lies the sound foundation of academic excellence, powered by a slew of reputed universities that attract students from across the world. Don’t be surprised if Dubai becomes a synonym for higher education in the foreseeable future.

EDUCATION
Dubai has a number of reputed universities.
While it would be presumptuous to take the name of Dubai in the same breath as the USA, UK or Australia, the UAE has a population of just 9.2 million — of which only 1.4 million are Emirati citizens. For example, American University in Dubai (AUD) is ranked 551–600 in the global QS ranking. The UAE has three more universities ranked in the top 50 in the Arab Region.

A Quality Education
A Canadian degree is widely recognised as equal to one from the United States, Australia or the United Kingdom. Canadian universities consistently rank in international league tables — in fact, three Canadian universities have placed in the world’s top 50. From universities and colleges to vocational schools, a Canadian education is truly world-class.

Multi-cultural environment.
With the advent of the internet and businesses going global, we today live in a global village, and Dubai is a perfect example of this universal model. Citizens of more than a hundred nationalities have turned the city into a melting pot of culture and traditions, and if you study in Dubai you can learn about multiculturalism — so valued in the professional world across industry sectors today — here more than anywhere else.
Political stability.
While the Gulf region isn’t a paragon of political stability, surprisingly, the UAE remains politically very stable and is also safe. It is this stability and security which convinces students to come and study in Dubai. The UAE enjoys positive diplomatic relations with all major economies, which ensures chances of instability in the near future aren’t very likely.
Dubai is also reaping the benefits of economic, social, cultural, environmental and political reforms carried out by the state. All these positive vibes give a green light for students to study in Dubai or the UAE.
Try something off the beaten track.
Academic destinations like the UK, USA and Australia are old hands, and therefore there isn’t much to discover for the international student. But Dubai is bristling with possibilities. You have the chance to discover many interesting facets not just about the city, but also about the UAE, the Gulf, and the culture and traditions of the locals there. The UAE has for long been like a puzzle to the rest of the world, and it is only recently that it has begun to embrace the ways of the wider world.
Entertainment capital of the world.
At any time of the year, Dubai is trickling with celebrities, sports stars and media barons — and something or the other is always on the horizon. From grand hotel openings to international sports events to food festivals to music extravaganzas, Dubai never stops. The ridiculously rich emirs give a call to the biggest entertainers in the world who come running to entertain them. If you want something else, there are grand architectures, sparkling water aquariums, well-manicured parks, shopping complexes and multiplexes to get into the festive spirit.
