Public Universities

The Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) and Zayed University are the two most prominent local universities in Dubai. The HCT is the largest, with around 16,000 students (all UAE nationals) studying at 16 campuses; it offers higher diplomas, bachelor’s and master’s degrees across over 80 different programmes. Prior to 2009, Zayed University only offered its degree programmes to UAE nationals; however, it now invites all UAE residents and international students to apply.
