Settling into life in Dubai
The UAE has been cited as one of the safest countries
in the world, and students are made to feel at ease
from the complementary airport pick-up service
provided by the university. Middlesex University Dubai’s
International Student Support team help students to
adjust to life in the city, and the 20 villas that serve as
student residences are designed to act as a ‘home away
from home.’ They boast wifi, a laundry room, a state-
of-the-art gym, a swimming pool and a volleyball and
basketball court. There is a free shuttle bus service to
the university, and local amenities are nearby, with the
nearest metro station less than 10 minutes away and
Mall of the Emirates a 20-minute walk away. Student
life on campus is vibrant, and eight sports teams and 16
social clubs cater to a wide range of interests.
Why Dubai?
Dubai’s position as a rapidly developing, forward-
thinking city makes it an ideal location for students,
and when it comes to innovation and technology the
region is at the fore. Sustainability and solar power has
been integral to Dubai’s development, which is echoed
in Middlesex University Dubai’s Institute of Sustainable
Development’s position as a leader in sustainability.
The Dubai campus is also close to business and creative
hubs such as Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City,
and students often gain significant industry exposure.
Over 70% of Dubai’s population were born outside
of the UAE, which brings a wealth of benefits, from
the presence of international business to the varied
mouthwatering cuisine on offer.
