UoBD is the only top 100 university to have its own branch in the UAE.
Tips: UoBD is the only top 100 university to have its own branch in the UAE. The exchange program to the UK campus provides additional exposure and better connections. A downside is that the campus is on the outskirts of Dubai, and most students are local, so the social life isn't great. In conclusion, it's a very safe option for Indian students, as Dubai is a booming spot for both education and careers. Overall, the university campus and faculty are top-notch.
Likes (Indian Food): Food will never be a problem for Indian students. Indian food is available at the university, and you can also opt for tiffin services at a very affordable rate in your accommodation, so you don't have to cook. Going to good restaurants downtown can be expensive.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university offers numerous clubs and activities, but participation is primarily among second and third-year students. Additionally, off-campus work is not feasible due to student visa restrictions limiting work hours to 48 per week, and UAE recruiters generally do not hire students on student visas.
