The European student community at Dubai Knowledge Park and Dubai International Academic City noted annual growth of 43 per cent at the end of the 2023-24 academic year as Dubai cements its position of prominence as a global education destination.

According to Arabian Business, the districts, which together comprise the Education Cluster of TECOM Group, feature universities from around the world, providing a community for learners to be connected through activities, workshops, and events that encourage collaboration.

The news was announced by Dubai International Academic City at the European Association for International Education (EAIE) Conference and Exhibition, held in Toulouse, France this week.

Dubai Knowledge Park and International Academic City offer a range of accredited undergraduate and postgraduate programmes as well as specialist upskilling, training, and development courses to nourish higher education and lifelong learning.

Together, the districts feature a French student community that grew by more than 30 per cent at the end of the 2023-24 academic year.

Marwan Abdulaziz Janahi, Senior Vice President of Dubai Knowledge Park and International Academic City at TECOM Group, said: “European talent is driven by the pursuit of new horizons upon which to make its mark, and increasingly, its compass is pointing towards futuristic multipolar hubs like Dubai." “

Dubai’s compelling blend of opportunity and connection offers the robust, globally focused pathways necessary for innovation to flourish. Our vibrant education communities leverage this pro-innovation framework to become the meeting point for Europe’s brightest minds – its institutions and students alike," he pointed out. Janahi added:  “We will continue uniting talent to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the global dialogue on knowledge and innovation, in line with the vision of Dubai Economic Agenda D33.”

The Education Cluster is home to a vibrant pool of more than 33,500 learners of all ages from 170 countries.
