UAE Universities See Surge in Student Applications Amid US Visa Uncertainty
Universities across the UAE are reporting a notable increase in international student applications, as ongoing delays and uncertainties surrounding student visa processing in the United States push students to seek more accessible alternatives. With growing concerns over restrictive policies and prolonged visa wait times in the US, students and parents are increasingly turning to UAE-based institutions for stability, safety, and streamlined admission processes. Higher education institutions in cities such as Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Ajman have all noted a significant rise in student interest for the 2025 academic year. The shift is attributed largely to disruptions in the US student visa process and changing international education policies. University leaders say the UAE's strong infrastructure, globally accredited programs, and supportive visa environment make it an increasingly attractive destination for international learners. The ability for students to work part-time, live in some of the world's safest cities, and stay geographically closer to home has added to the country's appeal. The surge in applications is also being driven by a broader trend of students reconsidering long-standing study abroad plans, particularly those targeting American institutions. As the global education landscape continues to evolve, the UAE is positioning itself as a regional hub for world-class higher education, offering international students both academic opportunity and peace of mind.

EDGE, FAB sign strategic deal to build resilient financial ecosystem
EDGE Group, one of the world's leading advanced technology and defence groups, has entered a strategic partnership with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB). The agreement covers two major financial initiatives: the implementation of FAB's advanced Supply Chain Finance (SCF) solution and the deployment of its AI-powered Treasury Management System (TMS). EDGE said its deployment of FAB's AI-powered TMS represents the largest to date. The solution delivers real-time cash visibility, advanced forecasting capabilities, and integrated risk management tools, enabling EDGE to automate treasury operations and optimise liquidity across the Group. The platform provides protection for interest rate risk and FX risk, while improving financial agility, investment planning, and funding, it stated. EDGE Managing Director and CEO Hamad Al Marar said: "Our partnership with FAB is a strategic enabler of our global industrial ambitions. It reinforces the financial architecture required to operate at scale, with speed and resilience. In an increasingly competitive and complex environment, this alignment ensures we remain agile, well-capitalised, and positioned for sustained international growth." Group Head of Wholesale Banking Martin Tricaud said: "FAB's partnership with EDGE marks a step forward in building a more resilient supplier ecosystem. We recognise that effective cashflow and supply chain finance are fundamental to sustainable business models. By combining our global expertise with innovative financial solutions, we are enhancing financial agility and enabling long-term value creation." "Through FAB's digital SCF solution, EDGE provides local and international suppliers access to early, low-cost financing, which enhances supplier trust, improves commercial terms, and ensures continuity across critical operations," he added. Group Chief Financial Officer Rodrigo Torres said: "This partnership reflects EDGE's commitment to embedding financial sophistication and innovation at the core of our operations. By integrating FAB's advanced SCF and AI-powered TMS platforms, we are optimising liquidity and supplier performance while also reinforcing our ability to manage risk and scale with confidence." Torres, said to date, over AED1.6 billion in invoices have been processed, unlocking more than AED1.2 billion in off-balance sheet financing.
