How to Prepare for Life After University 💡
United Arab Emirates
Infinitely Instagrammable, Dubai is a melting pot of 100+ nationalities! It's the perfect place to see how the world works – just by making friends! So, once you’ve taken in the planet’s tallest building and a shopping mall the size of 200 football pitches, shift down a gear. Watch the flyboarders from a café on Kite Beach, experience old Dubai in the historical Al Fahidi neighbourhood and get some perspective on it all in the desert. OK, so you’ll probably be dune bashing with your new mates, but it's the thought that counts!
Dubai’s location gives you access to, well, the rest of the world really – plus an easy visa process. Multinational companies, a diverse, cosmopolitan community, and iconic tourist attractions make this a student destination like no other. And nothing says 'I'm living my best life' better than sunset at the beach.
On the one hand, this means having everything you need to support you, from supermarkets to med centres. But it also means friendships with an eclectic, international crowd. And some great restaurants, courses, social clubs – and apps – where you can get to know them. Want to give something back? Volunteering is also an option.
There are 65+ universities, vocational institutions, and colleges in Dubai. Their graduates are joining the global workforce with the best degrees and experience in the world. Better still, competitive fees and great scholarships are opening doors for more students, for an increasingly inclusive and diverse education experience.
November to February, the heat’s just right to enjoy the Dubai World Cup and a line-up of festivals from food to film to jazz. June to August, expect to boil. Early mornings and late evening are the best times to do anything! Spring and autumn, temperatures hover around the 20-30-degree mark. Knitwear? Not so much…

Studying in Dubai? Lucky you! How about a comfy, all-inclusive student experience to go with it?
You’ll get more than the grades here (though the wifi in our study room is super-fast.) It’s about living your best life. Think dips in the rooftop pool, wellbeing events and time out in our (very competitive!) game zone.
It's a great location too. Dubai International Academic City (DIAC) is 15 minutes away and the Business Bay / Satwa and Knowledge Park only 30 minutes. There’s even a free shuttle service to get you there.
