Dubai Education Districts See 15% Growth in Student Enrollment
Dubai International Academic City and Dubai Knowledge Park, the emirate’s premier higher education hubs under TECOM Group PJSC, reported a 15% increase in student enrollment for the 2024-25 academic year. The combined student body now exceeds 38,500, reflecting Dubai’s ongoing development as a global education center.
Together, the two districts attract students from over 170 countries and host more than 600 academic and vocational programs, spanning bachelor’s degrees, diplomas, and doctorates. Institutions include Amity University, Curtin University, Heriot-Watt University Dubai, Middlesex University Dubai, Murdoch University Dubai, University of Birmingham Dubai, and University of Wollongong Dubai. Postgraduate offerings are strengthened by programs from the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, The University of Manchester - Dubai, University of Bradford, and University of Strathclyde Business School UAE.
“Dubai continues to attract the world’s brightest talent,” said Marwan Abdulaziz Janahi, Senior Vice President of Dubai International Academic City and Dubai Knowledge Park. “Our districts combine internationally recognized universities, vocational institutes, and training academies to equip learners with skills aligned to the future economy.”
The districts provide specialized facilities, including built-to-suit campuses, labs, and Grade-A offices. They also host initiatives connecting students with industry leaders, such as Campus Talks and UNCOVERED, alongside strategic forums like the Knowledge Assembly, which convenes academic and business leaders to guide the emirate’s higher education priorities.
TECOM Group’s broader ecosystem supports collaboration and innovation. Students and researchers benefit from access to entrepreneurial resources through in5, an incubator that has helped launch ventures like Relphacare Technologies, founded by an Amity University Dubai student. Administrative support, including streamlined visa and corporate services, is provided via TECOM’s axs platform.
Dubai International Academic City and Dubai Knowledge Park are integral components of TECOM Group’s Education Cluster, which complements the group’s network of business districts, including Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Dubai Production City, Dubai Studio City, Dubai Science Park, Dubai Design District, and Dubai Industrial City.
