Dubai's higher education sector sees record growth
Student numbers at Dubai's private higher education institutions are soaring to new heights, with the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) announcing a 20 per cent jump in enrolment for the 2024–25 academic year. A record 42,026 students are now enrolled across 41 institutions, with 37 of them being international campuses. They are offering an expanding range of programmes designed for future-focused learners, aligning with Dubai's ambitious Education 33 strategy. International students, those who came to Dubai specifically to study, saw a sharp 29 per cent increase, now making up 35 per cent of all enrolments. Dubai is aiming to raise that figure to 50 per cent by 2033, as part of its 'City of Students Game Changer' initiative to become a global hub for higher education. Emirati enrolment also hit a record, rising 22 per cent, showing strong local confidence in Dubai's private education offerings. The KHDA's Director General, Aisha Miran, said the growth reflects growing trust in the quality and relevance of education in Dubai. She highlighted that universities are preparing students for the jobs of the future, supporting both Dubai Plan 33 and the city's drive toward a knowledge-based economy. Four new international universities opened their doors this academic year, from China, India, Russia and Italy. Dubai's private higher education institutions offer 706 programmes, with degrees in business, information technology, engineering, media and design, and humanities being the most popular among students. Notably, information technology, engineering, and health and medicine degree programmes saw the biggest enrolment spikes. Student enrolment at higher education institutions licensed and regulated by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in Dubai continued its record-breaking growth, rising by 20% in the 2024–25 academic year. — Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) May 19, 2025

Dubai Higher Education Enrolment Surges as International Student Numbers Rise
Student enrolment at Dubai's private higher education institutions has reached an all-time high, growing by 20% in the 2024–25 academic year and bringing the total student body to over 42,000. The surge reflects Dubai's rising status as a global education hub. According to the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), 41 private institutions are currently operating in Dubai, including 37 international campuses. The growth supports the emirate's Education 33 (E33) strategy, which aims to position Dubai as a top destination for future-focused learners. International student enrolment climbed by 29% compared to the previous year, with foreign students now comprising 35% of the total. Dubai is targeting 50% international representation by 2033 under the E33's City of Students initiative. Emirati enrolment also rose significantly, growing by 22%, as more UAE nationals choose local private universities for their academic paths. 'The continued growth of Dubai's private higher education sector reflects the trust that students and their families place in the quality, relevance, and diversity of learning opportunities available in our cities,' said Her Excellency Aisha Miran, Director General of KHDA. Four new international universities opened in Dubai this academic year, representing China, India, Russia, and Italy. The city's institutions now offer 706 programmes, with the highest enrolment growth seen in information technology, engineering, and health and medicine. The upward trend in student numbers aligns with Dubai Plan 33, which seeks to build a world-class education ecosystem that fuels the emirate's social and economic development.
