Valuable student experience at the University of Birmingham.

Tips: Most of the students that you will find here in college will be Indian and Chinese students, so you guys should be looking for opportunities and talk to everyone. The assignments here have a strict plagiarism check and you should never delay the submission of your assignment as the deadlines are strict. The teachers are very nice and you can also book appointments with college career coaches and staff which can be very helpful. Good experiences so far.

Likes (Safety): Dubai is known for the safety standards it provides; it is by far the safest place someone can come. Clean roads with 100% safety, girls can go around the city anytime and will feel completely safe everywhere, there are cameras and police patrolling everywhere.

Dislikes (Public transportation): There is no metro connection to the college as it is in DIAC and bus connections take too much time and require many bus changes. Only places like DSO and Dubailand have good connectivity to the college, otherwise it takes too much time to commute to the university and back, or look for accommodation with a shuttle service.

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.
