Study Abroad in the United Arab Emirates

If you're imagining endless expanses of sand dunes dotted with a few camel caravans and a palm tree oasis straight out of Arabian Nights, try adding a few futuristic city skylines and your vision may come closer to resembling the thriving modern-day United Arab Emirates. A stark contrast to the traditional study abroad locations in western Europe, studying in the UAE is perfect for those looking to step far out of their comfort zone and explore a rapidly developing corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Regardless of your major, an unforgettable experience awaits you in this desert oasis.

Arabian Days & Nights

Living in a Muslim country has been the most wonderful learning experience in my life. Traditions, culture, believes and even the financial system were different to the western world, which made my experience unique and exceptional. Every day I listened to the 5-preayer call wherever I was in the city or campus. I witnessed spectacular landscaping in the UAE, caravans of camels, the contrast of beach and desert, the most beautiful full moon I have ever seen, and extraordinary sunsets. I had the fortune to attend a spectacular Emirati wedding. I also witnessed several Guinness records in one single city, Dubai; such as, the biggest mall, the tallest building, the largest hotel, the fastest roller coaster, the largest fireworks display, the “palm islands” which are consider to be the 8th wonder of the world and the world’s first seven star hotel. As an International Business major this has been the best experience I could have embraced in. My program supported me to get an internship. Living in a cosmopolitan city, such as Dubai, showed me that understanding the global world is crucial to succeed in my career.
