Canadian University Dubai (CUD) was established in 2006 to deliver high-quality tertiary education in the UAE and provide a gateway for students to pursue higher education opportunities in Canada. 

CUD is located in the heart of downtown Dubai and each of our academic programs is based on Canadian curriculum and education principles. This gives students the opportunity to obtain a Canadian education while experiencing the unique culture and values of the United Arab Emirates. With over 100 different nationalities that call our University home, our diverse student community is building bridges across cultures and continents in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

Students at our University are taught by world-class academics who are specialists in their fields. Faculty members come from diverse, multicultural, backgrounds, bringing their innovative teaching styles and philosophies to the classroom. Our flexible evening and weekend course schedules mean that students can fit their studies around both personal and professional commitments.

Our goal is to move each individual forward as a well-rounded, lifelong learner and a good global citizen. To achieve this, emphasis is placed not just on academic achievement, but also on extracurricular involvement. Our vibrant student life provides something for everybody, from sports to concerts, and various international trips in between. Students are also involved in many different types of social activities, including community fundraising, team building, and networking events.
