International Students

If you’re an international student, studying at CUA gives you the unique opportunity to receive an outstanding education in the United Arab Emirates in a thriving international business hub. To ease your transition to life in the UAE, we have a dedicated International Student Office that provides enhanced support services when you first arrive and during your early weeks at CUA.

Before your arrival, we can provide support during the application process through the International Student Office. We have a simple visa sponsorship program that allows you to secure your residency in the UAE before arrival. Enrolling in a program at CUA has provided a platform for hundreds of international students to go on and secure employment in United Arab Emirates and to build their lives in this exciting country.

From the application stage right through to arrival, induction and day-to-day studies, we recognize the needs and requirements of international students and have a range of support services to help ensure an enjoyable transition to life in the UAE.

International Student Office

The International Student office is designed to provide support and assistance to new students who have come from another country to study at CUA. Whether you arrive in UAE already knowing friends or family members, or whether you are taking on the challenge of moving to the UAE on your own, it is not easy to move to a new and unfamiliar country.

To help make your transition to UAE as enjoyable and smooth as possible, the International Student Office, with the support of Student Affairs department, organizes a series of activities for new international students, both on and off-campus, referred to as Orientation Week. These activities provide an ideal opportunity to meet other international students, make friends, and get settle into life in the UAE and at the university. It also provides an ideal way to meet new domestic and returning students.

The Orientation Week activities are open to both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students and all students are encouraged to attend.
