International students are eligible to apply to both public and private universities in the UAE, subject to specific requirements set by each institution.

They are advised to check with UAE embassies abroad or directly contact their desired institution for detailed admission and visa requirements.

Students sponsored by foreign governments should coordinate directly with their sponsoring agencies to make the necessary arrangements.

Students can live and study in the UAE under a visa sponsored either by an accredited university or a UAE-resident parent.
