• The number of international degree-seeking
  students in the UAE witnessed a spike from 48,653
  in 2011 to 77,463 in 2016 according to data from
  UNESCO. India contributes the largest number of
  foreign-seeking degree students, says Ajay
  Shukla, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer,
  Higher Education UAE, adding this is not
  surprising considering that they form the largest
  number of expats in the UAE.
• According to UNESCO, Indian students make up
  about 19 per cent of all international students.
  The other countries which contribute a high
  number of inbound degree-seeking students in the
  UAE include Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Oman. This

• Dubai has become a favourite among parents and
  students for multiple reasons, the first being
  the freedom to choose between educational
  institutions. Dubai, interestingly, is home to 60
  globally respected international university
  campuses, the largest number anywhere in the
  world. Notably, India is all set to open its
  first branch of Indian Institute of Technology
  (IIT) in the UAE. Higher Education in DubaiEven
  as they cite Dubais top-class infrastructure,
  experts also hail its generous visa policy.
  Students doing post-graduation have been allowed
  to take up part-time work since 2016 for
  designated employers. Besides extending one-year
  residency for foreign university graduates,
  exceptionally talented students also get a
  10-year residency while others are provided a
  five-year visa.
• While Indian campuses offer 50 scholarship for
  eligible students, some foreign universities have
  exchange programs. Students in the campuses of
  UK universities can study one year in Dubai and
  the second year in the parent university campus.
  After studies, they can also stay back for 2
  years, says Dr. Vinay.Students opt for Dubai
  because most of them land employment in the
  companies where they do internship, Dr. Vinay
  explains. Besides its strategic location, Dubai
  is also a safe haven for the student community
  due to its stable political leadership which
  according to Dr. Shukla is one major attraction.

• Pursuing higher education in Dubai is affordable
  due to lower tuition fees and cost of living.
  They are far lower compared to study
  destinations like the UK, US, Canada or European
  countries, points out R.N. Saha, BITS Pilani
  Dubai Campus Director. But Dr. Vinay says Dubai
  would benefit a lot if it starts offering MD
  programs for medical students.
• Doing MD in India is very expensive and it is
  tough to get admission in English-speaking
  countries while non-English speaking countries do
  not offer MD programs to students who have
  completed their MBBS back home. So, if Dubai
  starts offering MD programs, it would attract
  thousands of students from India, opines Dr.
  Vinay.The status of global hotspot for higher
  education, Dubais political leadership knows,
  does help the emirate since it has an opportunity
  to retain and utilise graduating talents for a
  longer term to achieve its avowed goal of
  emerging as a knowledge-based economy with
  emphasis on emerging technologies.
• As a global leader in innovation, a
  hyperconnected business hub and multicultural
  melting pot, Dubais international universities
  offer a wealth of courses designed for
  forward-thinking leaders of the future, from
  disruptive technologies to business
  qualifications to art and literary creative
  programs, Dubai is the preferred destination for
  high-profile multinationals looking to
  supercharge their career prospects. Higher
