The University of Birmingham's campus in Dubai is a great location for you to develop your subject knowledge whilst experiencing the diversity and vibrancy offered in the UAE. Students on eligible programmes can study at the University of Birmingham, Dubai, for one semester during your second year of University, or for a whole year as part of a 4-year degree programme.
With the support currently available in Birmingham, but with opportunities to visit deserts, water parks, beaches, and cultural sites, studying in Dubai is an opportunity not to miss!
This session will give you the chance to learn more about the opportunity to study in Dubai as part of your degree. Come along to find out more and ask any questions you may have at this stage. We are excited to be joined by a student from the Dubai campus who has spent this academic year studying in Birmingham - speak to them about their experience of the UAE!
