About UAE
The United Arab Emirates, commonly shortened to UAE, consists of seven states (emirates). Since the discovery of oil in the 1950s in the region, the UAE’s economy has undergone rapid transformative changes. Exporting oil and gas, the country has continued growing in its construction and tourism industries. The impressive feats of modern design on display in Dubai are among the main attractions for visitors.
Studying in the UAE has benefits and is a preferred destination for international students: sun, sea, sand, potential tax-free earnings after graduation, and some of the best universities in the Gulf region with optimal costs and scholarship options can be mentioned as some of the reasons why international students prefer UAE. UAE’s student visa has a unique offer for competitive international students, guaranteeing a 5-year and, for exceptionally outstanding students, a 10-year study visa.
