Ð԰ɵç̨

Ð԰ɵç̨ Dubai opened in 2021 and has grown in popularity since then, helping hundreds of students graduate into the careers they want. To strengthen our commitment in the region, we are investing in Ð԰ɵç̨ Dubai and our students.

The new campus offers a more modern, better equipped building in a much more central location, right next to some of the world’s biggest companies. It is a commitment to you as a student and our long-term future in Dubai. It will allow us to build on the success of Ð԰ɵç̨ Dubai so far, making it easier to offer the innovative teaching we are known for in a setting which best suits the needs of students.

Yes, we’ll be organising induction sessions for all current and new students so you can see the campus and get familiar with the facilities and the area. We’re currently refitting the interior of the building to make sure it meets our high standards for teaching and specialist spaces, but you can visit the area around the building anytime you’d like.

We’ll no longer be teaching on the old campus but accommodation and some services will continue to operate.

There will be no changes to our curriculum or our degrees. In fact, we believe the change of location and improved teaching facilities and spaces is a positive for all students. We will ensure that you are well-supported throughout the transition between campuses and that any potential negative impact is minimal. If you have any concerns, you can contact us via:

As a large UK university in Dubai, this move represents a significant investment in Ð԰ɵç̨ Dubai. The investment is based on the success of our current courses in Dubai. So, this is a strategic move which strengthens not only our geographical position, but the quality of the teaching experience we can give our students. It means we can build on the career opportunities we have already established in Dubai and beyond and connect students to a far richer network of potential employers. Ð԰ɵç̨ Dubai is operated by Ð԰ɵç̨ Leicester, which has a strong, secure financial position.

In undertaking this move Ð԰ɵç̨ is strengthening its oversight of the Dubai campus. The university will directly employ all staff and manage the lease of the building ensuring that all aspects of the operation align with Ð԰ɵç̨ Leicester.
