To sort tertiary institutes by area, click on the tel number column heading -
tel numbers in the same area start with the same two or three digits.

Click on insitute name to get further details - contact details, location, fees,
salaries, comments.

Name of institute does not always indicate if it is a university or college -
some 'universities' offer qualifications that are not highly regarded, some
'colleges' offer qualifications that are very highly regarded.

The curriculum will give an indication of student mix. Faculty are usually
international.
Notes for students and lecturers when considering choosing a college or
university
Fees may vary substantially depending on the course and course requirements.
Transport, visa, accommodation (if provided) will normally cost additional fees.
Students should investigate how valuable a qualification from their prospective
institute is in terms of finding a job and/or continuing with study elsewhere.
The college or university itself is probably not the best source of unbiased
information - especially if they are a profit-making institution.

Universities and colleges should be licensed to operate by the Ministry of
Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHE, MHE, MoHESR or MHESR). It's not
a guarantee of a world class education but it's better than going somewhere not
licenced. The Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) has a list of licensed
institutes which is sometimes available.
Students awarded degrees from institutes that do not have CAA accredition may
find that their degree is not accepted as a prerequisite for graduate study at a
CAA accredited institute, or as a valid qualification for employment in the UAE
public sector.


Some institutes are more flexible with entry requirements than others - the
level of flexibility increase as the quality of education decreases and desire
for fees income increases.

Lecturers should check carefully what the salary package includes. Most overseas
hire packages will include accommodation (which can vary from luxurious to
slum), medical (which can also vary substantially - a government health card is
only regarded as a bare minimum), return flights once a year (if the college or
university insists on making bookings for you, this can be an aggravating
experience). Some institutes will pay extra allowances for transport and
utilities.
Teachers and instructors on local contract hires will normally not be offered
any of the above and may find it difficult financially if they have to cover
their own accommodation costs - especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi where rents
are quite high.
