International Students

Studying at CUA offers international students a unique chance to receive an exceptional education in the thriving business hub of the United Arab Emirates. To facilitate your transition to life in the UAE, we have a dedicated International Student Office that provides comprehensive support services during your initial weeks at CUA.

Before you arrive, our International Student Office can assist you throughout the application process. Our straightforward visa sponsorship program enables you to secure residency in the UAE prior to your arrival. Enrolling at CUA has already helped hundreds of international students find employment in the UAE and build their lives in this vibrant country.

From the application stage to your arrival, orientation, and everyday studies, we understand the specific needs of international students and offer a variety of support services to ensure a smooth and 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.
