The University of Birmingham's campus in Dubai is a great location for students to develop their subject knowledge whilst experiencing the diversity and vibrancy offered in the UAE. Students on eligible programmes can study at the University of Birmingham, Dubai, for one semester during their 2nd year of University, or for a whole year as part of a 4-year degree programme. With the support currently available in Birmingham, but with opportunities to visit deserts, water parks, beaches, and cultural sites, studying in Dubai is an opportunity not to miss.

Current 1st year students from the following programmes can apply now for a semester abroad in their 2nd year:

  • BSc Accounting and Finance
  • BSc Business Management
  • BSc Business Management with Marketing
  • BSc Money Banking Finance
  • BSc Economics
  • BSc Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science
  • BSc Computer Science
  • BSc Biomedical Science

Students from LES, EPS, CAL, and COSS can also spend a full year in Dubai studying one of six study pathways:

  • AI and Computer Science
  • Sustainability and Entrepeneurship (New for 2026/27!)
  • Global Citizenship (New for 2026/27!)

This session will give students the chance to learn more about the opportunity to study in Dubai as part of their degree. Come along to find out more and ask any questions you may have at this stage. We are excited to be joined by a student from the Dubai campus who has spent this academic year studying in Birmingham - speak to them about their experience of the UAE!
