Dubai Knowledge Park and Dubai International Academic City are hopeful that 2021 will provide Dubai's higher education as a hub for the future.
With the opening of universities with more facilities that will help enrich a student's growth, the UAE's universities are optimistic that this year will be a great one for students, staff and universities alike.
Universities like the University of Birmingham, Murdoch University, Heriot-Watt University and the University of Wollongong, have recently made changes to their campuses which will help facilitate all the new features required by students in order to ensure that all the educational services required are obtained.
Dubai International Academic City is currently home to over 27 universities among the like of Middlesex University, Curtin University, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, University of Manchester and many more.
Mohammad Abdullah, Managing Director of Dubai International Academic City and Dubai Knowledge Park, said, "Education is facing its biggest upheaval in decades, but our communities are uniquely positioned to adapt. With a number of future-focused campuses already open or poised to do – alongside favourable rules and regulations from our wiser leaders – the emirate has become an even more attractive destination for learning and development."
He also added, "Education and talent are intrinsically linked to the UAE’s vision for knowledge and innovation-based economy. Recent studies have shown that young people are confident about competing for jobs globally and we have a responsibility to ensure they succeed. As the world’s largest academic ecosystem, it’s our role to create the right environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure, space to scale, and business-friendly regulations to attract the best universities to Dubai to capitalise on the confidence of youth. The optimism of youth is reason alone to be cautiously optimistic about the future.”
