THE WORLD'S BUSINESS HUB
Dubai has firmly established itself as a global leader in innovation. As a hyper-connected, pro-business hub between the East and the West, it provides many career options for talented graduates.
As one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, numerous multinational organisations such as Microsoft, IBM, HSBC and Google have chosen to have a significant presence in the city. Dubai is home to one-third of all Middle East and North Africa (MENA) investors and 19 venture capitalists, the highest number in the region.
One of the technological hubs of this thriving city, Dubai Internet City (DIC) is at the forefront of tech innovation and advancement. This global community is home to over 1,600 businesses of all sizes, including Fortune 500 companies, SMEs, start-ups and entrepreneurs. Tech incubators within DIC are exploring ideas that will shape the global future of cyber, digital media, mobility, the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities.
As well as being a global leader in business and tech, Dubai is also taking an innovative approach to science to tackle global challenges and to become a leading incubator of scientific breakthroughs.

‘For me, Dubai is an attractive city; it’s definitely a great place for Chinese students who want to study or work here; there’s more opportunity and less competition. Graduates are more likely to get a job they are satisfied with after graduation and the UAE offers a flexible visa which helps both for work and study.’
