"Diverse Campus, Smooth Transition, Solid Value" — that's the title
Tips: Before joining, know Dubai's fast-paced and multicultural u2014 be ready to adapt. Transitioning here meant adjusting to new social norms and a diverse classroom, which broadened my perspective. I applied for a scholarship via UOWD's portals. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, campus, and life in the UAE.
Likes (Public transportation): Personally, I'd rate it 5 u2014 getting to campus is easy. The free shuttle links us to the Dubai Internet City metro, with buses and a tram nearby too. Transport feels affordable and convenient, though the shuttle transfers add a small wait compared to being right on the metro line.
Dislikes (Internships): At UOWD, I'd rate internships 4/5. Career Central + pros guide CVs, listings, and applications well. Most roles fit my field, but niche internships need self-hunt. Rated 4 as career services actively help with resume building and interview prep, plus regular internship postings via the portals. Guidance is solid u2014 advisors assist with applications. Internships mostly align with my field, though options could be broader for niche specialisations.

Road to Success isn't hardwork, it starts with consistency.
Tips: The adjustment was not difficult for me as I was born and brought up in Oman itself. But there were a few of my friends who shifted from India and found some difficulty with the cost of living, as everything here is expensive. However, the country is one of the safest countries in the world, but again, with a price, and above all, the standard of living here is something that cannot go unnoticed by anyone. So, whatever may be a problem for the student initially in terms of being expensive, he will start getting used to it once he starts earning his salary. It is quite equivalent to the cost of living. The university as a whole is excellent. Quite professional, cooperative, and strict with its curriculum. From an examination perspective, it is a piece of cake.
Likes (Post study jobs): I got my full-time paid internship in my second Sem and later got absorbed into the company with a work visa after 6 months. There are a few companies that do this. The rest require experience. And post master's or bachelor's, it's relatively easier to get into a company through an internship rather than directly applying for a permanent position. Companies do not really value Indian experience much, as things work differently here in terms of functioning and operational aspects.
Dislikes (Part time work): You cannot work part-time in Dubai like in European countries, it's quite rare, even if some organizations offer part-time opportunities. However, you can do a full-time internship while doing a master's. Average pay for an internship can range from 3k to 5k AED per month.

Dynamically tempting but supportively slow.
Tips: One must be outgoing and dynamic before attending this college. If you are self employed then fine otherwise try to build some skills of extroversion as it will help you in the long run in the UAE. Develop that strength to know more about what is going on in this world. It will look like India but it is not India when it comes to settling down.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Not only by their academic accreditation but the depth of knowledge they carry is sublime and polished. Go and have 1on1 sessions with them regarding your research and you’ll find yourself in an ocean. For post graduate students who will be taking Marketing or Finance as their specialisation you should have professional sessions with the academic professors every single month as it will make you gain a lot.
Dislikes (Part time work): As per the laws in UAE, legally you can’t do part time work. But if you get an internship during your masters you can work in the day and attend classes in the evening. Post graduate lectures are conducted in the evening. But for Bachelors you can’t work part time.

It is very safe nd good..
Tips: Yes, I got a scholarship from the university, and I contacted a professor who helped with the process. My course has all the subjects that help me in the industry to build my career. I am very satisfied because there are so many clubs and events held here.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are very good because they help the weak students and do not burden the students with taking maximum subjects. They mainly help you out getting good scores even after college hours. They also help you give guidance on how to build job connections.
Dislikes (Value for money): Yes, it has all the major subjects to succeed in my future. I have rated my college 4 because it is the best place any student can get. It has a built-in library, parking, and a canteen and also a good local commute; plus, the study is also world-class. They have good connections with the companies for jobs.

I would say value for money and best curriculum
Tips: If you are coming from India then make sure you know basic citations and reference styles for academic integrity. You can also check for the available scholarships on university website as they do have few options. I’m very satisfied with my course and country as there are so many opportunities waiting for you if you are a skilled person.

Dubai is a very multicultural city.
Tips: Since Dubai is a very multicultural city, the transition was quite smooth. People from many different nationalities live and work here, so it's easy to adapt. I didn't experience a major cultural shift, and the environment felt quite welcoming. I did not receive a scholarship, but I was eligible for the UAE Golden Visa under the Outstanding Student Category based on my GPA. I was satisfied with my experience. The course was practical and relevant to the industry, the university provided a supportive learning environment, and Dubai offers good career opportunities for students and professionals.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The UAE has introduced long term visa options like the Golden Visa, which makes it easier for people to stay here for many years. Dubai also offers good career opportunities and a high quality of life, which is attractive for professionals. I would definitely consider staying in Dubai because of the safety, lifestyle, and career opportunities here.
Dislikes (Student Life): I was doing my Master's while working full time. My classes were usually in the evening and sometimes went on until night, so most of my time was split between work and attending lectures. Because of this, I didn't really have much time to participate in college events or student activities. My typical day was work during the day and classes in the evening. Even though I didn't experience much of the student life, I still enjoyed the learning and interacting with classmates who were also working professionals.
