Chinese students encouraged to study in Dubai universities
Dubai continues to push its bid to attract more international students to further strengthen the burgeoning higher education sector here - with Chinese nationals firmly in its eye line.
Of the 60,000 university students in Dubai today, just 30 per cent account for international enrollments.
Speaking to Khaleej Times on the sidelines of the Higher Education Forum, Jitin Sethi, senior vice president, Parthenon-EY said overseas students are one of the biggest areas for growth for Dubai-based universities. "Recognising the right student profile is crucial here. It will be significantly tougher to focus those efforts on the US, UK, or Australia, purely because of their well-established higher education reputation. These universities need to appeal to students who want a quality education which is price sensitive."
The UAE's strong business relationship with China, as well as its growing Chinese expat population, means it makes sense for campuses to focus largely on Chinese students.
"China has one of the biggest exports when it comes to sending students overseas for studies, but many of them return to China to upstart businesses. Dubai is much closer to their home; it has the English-driven education system they are after, at a lower price. It is a market that needs to be tapped, and I think this is something we will see happen over the next five years."
With international branch campuses from 12 different countries already established in Dubai, and five campuses newly-opened this year including University of South Wales, Curtin University, Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation, Birmingham University and Abu Dhabi University in Dubai, Dubai has shown the world it can become a leading global business hub, so "now it is leveraging this success to attract international students".
