RECOGNITION FOR YOUR DEGREE
The University of Birmingham Dubai has been granted Initial Institutional Licensure by the UAE’s Ministry of Education through the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA), recognising the quality of our educational experience, which stretches and challenges you to achieve your highest potential as you look to further your career.
We are proud to continue to support the UAE as it continues to strengthen it's knowledge-based economy, underpinned by a higher education system where students are assured that their qualifications are of a high standard and recognised across the globe.
The University is located in the Emirate of Dubai and, therefore, we continue to be licensed to operate in Dubai by the Dubai Government through the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). In line with their custodianship of the quality of higher education for the Emirate of Dubai, the KHDA will continue to assess the initial approval of all of our programmes to ensure they are of quality, value, and relevance to students in Dubai.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
- Study on a three-year undergraduate degree – we are currently the only university licensed by the Ministry of Education in the UAE to offer a UK three-year undergraduate degree programme for direct entry to suitably qualified students. So you can upgrade your skills and change your world sooner!
- Work in government – our degree certificates can be attested by the Ministry of Education, which enables our graduates to take up the offer of governmental employment across the Gulf region
- Entry requirements – our entry requirements are set at the same level as we set for our UK campus. So you can be assured of the highest standard and academic rigour
‘We are honoured to be awarded Initial Institutional Licensure by the CAA – a strong endorsement of the University of Birmingham Dubai that further underlines the quality and status of our education programmes. This recognition from the Ministry of Education signals to prospective students and their families that we represent the best route to a first-class education from an elite British university that will see them graduate as high-achieving and employable problem-solvers.’
