Dubai: The University of Birmingham, a Russell Group university, ranked in the top 100 universities of the world (QS 2021) and most sought-after university by leading employers (High-Fliers 2021) is all set to open its new campus in the international education hub of Dubai.
Students in Dubai will receive the same internationally recognised ‘University of Birmingham’ degree certificate. Along with an exceptional educational experience, the students will also gain the skills and expertise that top employers are seeking in the current global market.
The brand new, state-of-the-art campus in Dubai International Academic City (DIAC) will provide a modern academic home that is capable of adapting to changes in technology, learning and the climate.
The campus will be embedded with cutting-edge technology to deliver a world-class physical and digital experience and has been uniquely designed to embrace sustainable practices. At the heart of the campus, design is the ‘collaboration’ and ‘digital first’ approach — reflecting real-world working practices.
“Our new building has been designed as an ‘Intelligent Campus’ – embedded with flexible, cutting-edge technology allowing innovative, multidisciplinary teaching and learning. We aim to deliver a flexible and powerful teaching environment in Dubai that students and staff will enjoy. Colleagues coming from our Birmingham campus to teach in Dubai will feel immediately at home in our teaching spaces. Everyone – students and staff alike – are eagerly looking forward to moving into our brand-new, bespoke campus building. We believe that, in our new academic home, we will deliver an educational experience like no other in Dubai,” Provost University of Birmingham Dubai professor, David Sadler was quoted as saying in a media release.
The university is welcoming international students including Indians with a scholarship of up to 40 per cent based on their academic performance across undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
The University of Birmingham Dubai offers degrees that will be taught, examined and accredited to the same recognised high standards as those delivered on its UK campus. The students will be encouraged to study in interdisciplinary teams across a range of academic subjects working seamlessly with peers in Dubai, the UK and Singapore providing them with an invaluable global experience.
This outstanding new campus demonstrates the University of Birmingham’s commitment to providing a world-leading, research-informed, elite university education in the heart of the United Arab Emirates and continues the legacy of connecting the brightest students from across the globe in a university renowned for research and teaching.
