As a student in Dubai, you will have the opportunity to help shape the voice of students through our Students’ Association.
From your first day on campus until your last, we’ll make sure the right support is there for you whenever you need it. You’ll also find plenty of opportunities to develop your skills, play an active role in university life and prepare for the world after your studies.
You can take advantage of a wide range of opportunities beyond the curriculum including sports, community volunteering, arts and culture. From joining the gym or a sports club to meeting like-minded people in a society, you will have plenty of opportunities to socialise, network and enjoy your time with us.
Voice of the students

“Everyone is really friendly, if I ever need anything the Student Services team are always willing to help with a smile. The community is really close knit and it’s really easy to meet people, socialise and make new friends. It’s really fun to hang out in the Student Association room between classes and play foosball!”
Social, health and wellbeing
We understand that adjusting to university life can be a challenge. Your health, wellbeing and personal development is as important to us as your academic achievement. To help with this we have a dedicated Student Wellbeing Officer who can assist you with any academic or wellbeing concerns that you may have during your time with us.
