Daytime MBA (Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics) - Batch of 2026
4.9
A great learning experience in a multicultural environment.
Tips: Students should know that the university offers a diverse and multicultural environment with students from different countries. My transition was smooth since Dubai is a multicultural city; adapting was not very difficult. Yes, I did get a scholarship on the basis of previous grades. I am highly satisfied with the course, city, and overall UAE.
Likes (Safety): I rated 5 stars because of the safety for both the campus and the city. Apart from campus security, there are CCTV cameras, controlled access to university facilities, emergency support services, well-maintained infrastructure, etc. My experience in Dubai is very positive. The city is cleaned, well-maintained, has infrastructure, etc.
Dislikes (Internships): I rated it 4 stars because there is a good amount of guidance available for internships; the university supports them through career services, job portals, and workshops. Most of the internship opportunities are from my relevant field of study, which helps in gaining practical knowledge.

Good university and great exposure in Dubai.
Tips: MDX Dubai is super easy to fit into. The crowd is insanely diverse, so you won’t face a major culture shock, and they give decent scholarship discounts if your high school grades are good. But real talk—don’t just sit in class expecting a job to fall into your lap. The campus is right in Dubai Knowledge Park surrounded by huge corporate hubs but the competition is crazy. You have to hunt for internships, hit up uni events and join clubs to build a network that actually goes anywhere. Honestly though I’m glad I came here. The vibe is awesome, and the exposure you get in Dubai is unmatched. But yeah—you gotta hustle.

Middlesex University Dubai, Review (Daytime MBA Student)
Tips: For master degrees, don't involve too much into extracurricular activities, rather work on your skill set be it technical or soft skills, and side by side focus on academics so that you're job ready when course ends and potential land a good internship!
Likes (Student Life): Multiple options to roam around in the university to spend your free time taking from cafeterias and hill zones, and small space to study along with big labs to work on your projects as well, open till 6 pm, so that one can work peaceful and enjoy the board games as well along with a gaming room!
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time work is available but given that it's a day time MBA it's hard to go for part time job locations but you can get a job in the university by talking with the admin people and being socially active with just admin people rather than involving in activities.

Highly Recommended: Great Campus in a secure, Diverse country.
Tips: I actually managed to score a 25% scholarship, which honestly took a huge weight off my shoulders. I'm really happy with the professors here and all the campus facilities they've got. Plus, even with everything going on in the world right now, the UAE still feels like one of the safest places you could possibly be. I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot and applying here.

Great campus environment and opportunities, vibrant campus life and great academics.
Tips: Honestly campus life here is pretty well-rounded so you can easily juggle your classes while still having a life outside of studying. The professors are great and really supportive, but they aren't going to hand you everything on a silver platter—you genuinely have to go out of your way to find the cool projects and opportunities. On top of that, just figuring out how the campus vibe works and actually talking to people makes a world of difference when you're trying to build a network.
Likes (Part time work): As it provides strong support for placements and career opportunities. There are regular placement drives, internship opportunities, and skill development programs that help students become job ready. The presence of reputed companies visiting the campus is really appreciated.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Getting your permanent residency here is definitely doable since the pathways are there, but the whole process is a massive waiting game and insanely competitive. Even though the routes are pretty straightforward on paper—like going the skilled worker route or securing a long-term job—you still have to deal with a ton of moving parts, constantly changing visa rules, and strict job requirements.

Amazing education quality at Middlesex University.
Tips: The quality of education is amazing but one thing students should know is the degree is accredited by KHDA. so if you are planning to continue to study in UAE, you can only study in a KHDA accredited university. However, it's a very friendly place and can make connections with people of different backgrounds. The location is also very homely and comforting. The teachers are highly reputed. They have so many clubs and a wide range of activities for the student to engage in.
Likes (Safety): First of all, UAE has a very cost-effective public transport. Travelling by bus and metro is very safe and easy to use. They also have a separate carriage for women and children in metro. Student discounts are provided by RTA and can be applied to the University you go to. The University is located in the core place around a lot of big companies and there are other universities located nearby. It has a very friendly vibe and the professors are always ready to give a helping hand. The place is very diverse so you rarely face any social problem. It is also licensed by KHDA in UAE which is responsible for quality education.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have heard the careers department is of immense help before and after you graduate. I have not yet checked it by myself, but the services provided by Middlesex are commendable. But we do have a wide range of opportunities provided to us with employability during our studies.

The universe is diverse and worth the money totally.
Tips: The university is great and gives you lots of great experiences. There are sometimes scholarships too. The quality of the faculty here is very good. There are no limits to the learning you can do at this university. It can be a bit daunting with the job market, but if we push through, maybe we can make this happen.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food is a bit pricey since the restaurants are not really Indian but if you have a part-time job, it's still affordable. There are food coupons available from the university sometimes. The cost of food is on the pricier side, but it is in reach.

There are a bunch of opportunities, so keep looking around until you find one that's right for you.
Tips: There are a few scholarship opportunities, so make sure you apply early. Part-time work can be secured while you are in India. Make sure to avail yourself of that option if you can. And you need to start networking as early as you can. There are lots of on-campus events where you can meet industry folks. The campus is beautiful and has a garden that’s a tourist attraction. And the fall semester has a Duke football tailgate event, which is pretty great as well. If you are looking for a college with great sports teams, great facilities, and a great student community, then consider Duke University.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are tons of options available for part-time work, most of which can be found on the Duke-specific job site, Jobx. The other option is to look for a TA position. This means you start emailing professors early on and following up.

You have to find internships on your own through job portals and connections with people.
Tips: There is very little diversity in the MEM program, and you need to prepare yourself to connect with people outside of the program. Make sure to take full advantage of the different clubs at Duke and join as per your liking. Attend all the fun events on campus and try to stay on campus as much as possible.
Likes (Student Life): Duke has the best college experience because of the basketball team and a lot of international diversity on campus. There are a lot of fun events happening around campus. The campus is very beautiful and aesthetic, and you can stay on campus for the entire day.
Dislikes (Internships): The career fair at Duke is not that helpful as there are very few companies that participate, and ones who participate mostly don't sponsor. You have to find internships on your own through job portals and connections with people over LinkedIn for referrals.

Duke is good but there is not much help to international students with job networking events.
Tips: The Indian community at Duke is strong, so the transition to life on campus was pretty easy. I secured a merit scholarship automatically when I applied. I do a lot of my own cooking, but there are a few good Indian restaurants close to Duke that offer all kinds of amazing options for a decent price. I've even gotten two meals out of some dishes, so if you don't want to cook, you've got great alternatives. Also, there are other options not far away if you're down for a short drive. I’m happy with Duke, but I wish it provided more help to international students with job networking events or something of that nature.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transportation is not very reliable and not too safe. Using Duke's buses is helpful and a game-changer. Since most events and necessities happen around Duke, it is manageable without a car and just by using the university transport. Otherwise, having a car is very important.

Comfortable learning environment, diverse courses and highly qualified faculty.
Tips: Duke is a great university. You can get everything that you desire here. The sports are amazing, the facilities are great as well. They provide scholarships to a lot of individuals who apply. It is directly connected to your applications, and no need to apply separately.
Likes (Indian Food): The food here is super diverse, and there are many Indian options for students. There are a number of different Indian places in Cary and Raleigh, but there are also restaurants that serve Indian cuisine at the campus food court. Most of the food I've tried there has been pretty delicious, and they have a whole separate market that has authentic Indian food for sale as well.
Dislikes (Safety): The apartments are gated, but not all of them. Some are very unsafe and have no security. There have been shootings across various off-campus housing. The public transport is a little risky, and a lot of homeless people and addicts live close to the West campus.

The tuition is quite high but the experience is worth it.
Tips: Take courses outside of your programme as they add a lot more value than you expect them to. The tuition is quite high, but I think it is worth it. The faculty and the courses make up for it all.
Likes (Student Life): There's always an event happening at one place or another, they try to make students' lives as enriching as possible. The college provides amazing resources to all students. There's also events to de-stress and relax for when you are worried about internship search etc.
Dislikes (Safety): The public transport here is not very safe. There's also often shooting and muggings happening around Durham. The campus itself is very safe, but outside, you always have to be on high alert. Many students have reported hearing gunshots late into the night, and some have seen people pull out a gun while they were walking.

Tips: The university itself has an Indian place, so you definitely won't be going hungry. There is truly a lot to enjoy at Duke. The sports are amazing, the facilities are great as well. The faculty is highly knowledgeable and helpful.
Likes (Indian Food): There is an abundance of food that caters to multiple tastes from all over the world. You can find many options for South Asian and North Asian cuisine, and there’s even some Mexican and Southern food, too.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The public transportation here is not very reliable. There are only a few buses that come infrequently, and there are no buses at all on weekends. The buses are irregular and randomly decide not to show up. There are no trains or subways, so the only option is buses, which is bad.

A transformative journey with good opportunities.
Tips: While the academic environment is intellectually stimulating and paced with opportunities, it also demands a high level of independence, especially with internships, living in an apartment, etc. I received a scholarship, and the scholarship amount and who gets it will be decided by the admissions committee. You don't have to do anything additional. I am highly satisfied with the course, the country and the university. The exposure, diverse community and academic community will help you grow both personally and academically.
Likes (Student Life): Duke offers an incredible, vibrant and well-rounded experience beyond academics. A typical day for me involves attending classes, working part-time, going to the gym and spending time with friends. The campus is always buzzing with activity, from social mixers to game nights. There is something happening on campus almost every day. The range of student clubs is impressive, whether you are into consulting or dance, you have a student club for everything.
Dislikes (Internships): Duke Career Services is amazing and does a lot of great work behind the scenes, like organising career fairs and resume support. However, no explicit support is provided, like companies coming to campus to hire us, which makes it difficult to find an internship, as the burden falls on you.

Good experience overall, more beneficial for students with a non-business background
Tips: Great environment for international folks. Everyone here embrace diversity and inclusion. It was not an easy transition to move from a happening city to a calmer place like Durham but the events at Duke made up for the lack of places to explore around. The course is more useful if you come from a non-business background. Placements have not been great due to the job market.
Likes (Part time work): Lots of opportunities to do on-campus work. The community is welcoming to hire international students and no problems have been faced regarding it so far. Manageable workload depending on your role. TA roles are also available for students on the colleges' own job portals.

The Duke name helps in getting opportunities.
Tips: Not a major cultural shift, since this course attracts a lot of Indians. You should be actively participating in activities around you or you will miss out. I did not receive any scholarships. The university was very satisfactory, it offers guidance, security, and a platform to make the best of your career. As for the programme, it's as good as you make of it. It is designed to give you an introduction to most things, not a deep drive, it opens new horizons of thinking and changes your perspectives on decision-making and your approach, but there is a lot of self-effort required.
Likes (Student Life): Attending lectures, participating in the various activities going in the campus, from information sessions to painting sessions. I attended about 3 events each week. All kinds of clubs are present, from data, and sustainable energy, to mediation and music clubs.
Dislikes (Internships): The Career Center does provide guidance but it is limited and the students are expected to do most of the work. The availability of internships changes every year, during my first year, we had to scour a lot, during my second year I saw the incoming batch getting lots of calls by October itself. Overall, the location is good for the search, the Duke name helps, but it's mostly dependent on the market situation during that time.

Great opportunity, but be clear and aware.
Tips: Make sure you have a clear goal in mind what you want to achieve after graduation. Keep aside a certain amount for living expenses, as finding an on-campus job is tricky. Most master's programs do not have diversity, so do not be shocked if you do not see it here.
Likes (Indian Food): One can get a good Indian meal in the $10-$20 range. There are good restaurants, and Indian groceries are pretty accessible. Check out Lime & Lemon, Indian Monsoon, and Anjappar in Carry as a few good options. Eating out in the US regularly can burn a hole in your pockets, so make sure you know or learn how to cook.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The US is heavy on the individualistic culture; hence, there is a lack of decent public transportation. The bus arrives in an hour, so you must plan your visits accordingly. Make sure you stay within the vicinity of the campus to make things easy for you. Public transportation is free for the residents of Durham.

Dislikes (Safety): Multiple incidents near my residential area which is located 10 minutes away from the campus. Very unsafe at night especially with no public transport available after 9.

Best faculty, course and campus blend you will ever see.
Tips: Coming to the US for the first time will be a big culture shift. It does take time to adjust to the people living here but one will soon adjust. The classes and assignments do take up a lot of time. The best part of Duke is the flexibility of choosing courses and catering to one's own needs. Scholarships are rarely available. The course is value for money because of the faculty members and the network you develop here.
Likes (Student Life): Best part about the campus is the architecture. Built in a gothic style it shows a blend of modern and old architecture. Students have classes mostly in West Campus which is new and has a lot of eateries and work stations. Campus is always with multiple events going around all day throughout the campus.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Being closer to Raleigh and Carry helps Durham's case here. Durham is a small town with limited resources for long term settlement but a great place to stay short-term. Durham is located in the Triangle area which is growing really fast offices of big tech firms popping up. Meta, Google etc. have their office space being built. You will find companies like Toshiba and Lenovo have their main branches in RTC area.

Community feeling yet very progressive college.
Tips: It took a bit to adjust to the college initially, but once I did, I realised it has a lot to offer. It's not a big city, but it has a tight-knit community. There are a lot of things you can learn from going out and seeing things for yourself. It's nice having so much access to the campus, it’s easy to meet new people and try new things. You get to participate in a lot of clubs and activities, and even represent your own country or culture. The campus is like a mini world, and the events are a great way to learn and grow. The faculty are easily accessible and approachable. They make sure to help us with anything.
