About UAE College

UAE College is one free application for universities in the United Arab Emirates. A student fills in one profile, chooses universities, and we send the application to each admissions office and show every reply on one page.

What the site is

Two things. First, a directory of 126 universities and colleges across 11 emirates, with programmes, fees, admission requirements and contact details on one page per institution. Second, the application platform at app.uaecollege.com, where the applications are actually made.

Students never pay UAE College. The only cost is the application fee a university sets for itself, and several partner universities waive that fee for applications made through us. Universities, not students, are our customers, and we say so on every page where fees appear.

Where the data comes from

Every fee, programme list and admission requirement starts from the university’s own published fee schedule or admissions page, and each profile links to that website. Accreditation status comes from the Commission for Academic Accreditation register and, for Dubai free-zone campuses, the KHDA. Ranking positions are quoted from the QS and Times Higher Education tables for the edition named on the page, never estimated.

Tuition is shown in AED as published and converted to INR and USD at an approximate mid-market rate that is stated on each fees page. We currently hold a published tuition figure for 47 of the 126 institutions; where a university prices per programme instead, the page says so rather than showing an estimate, and that fees page is kept out of search indexes until the figure is confirmed.

How often it is reviewed

Guides carry a visible “Updated” date that changes only when the content changes. University profiles show when they were last reviewed. Fee tables are re-checked against the universities ahead of each major intake (the September and January intakes), and whenever a university or a reader tells us something has moved.

Who writes it

Pages are written and maintained by the UAE College editorial team, the small team that also runs the application desk and speaks to admissions offices every week. We do not accept payment for placement in rankings or lists, and our comparison pages are generated from the same data every university is held to.

Report an error

If a fee, deadline or requirement on this site is out of date, tell us and we will check it with the university and correct the page. Use the chat on the application platform or message us on LinkedIn, Instagram or TikTok.
