As universities across the UAE resume in-person learning, De Montfort University Dubai has returned to campus on Monday, 27 April with a strong focus on student wellbeing and academic continuity.
Student-first Measures During Uncertainty
DMU Dubai introduced a series of student-first initiatives during the recent period of regional uncertainty. These include no-penalty resits, automatic coursework extensions and scholarships of up to 100% for GCC and UAE students affected by the situation. These measures were designed to ensure that students could continue their studies without added pressure.
Flexible Admissions Approach
The university has also confirmed that it will make offers to prospective students based on predicted grades following the cancellation of international examinations across the UAE. This approach ensures that students are not disadvantaged and can still secure their university placements.
“Dubai and the UAE have shown, once again, why it is one of the world’s most resilient places. Our students and staff never stopped. They adapted, they engaged and they kept going and that spirit reflects the environment they are studying in. We are grateful for the clear direction provided by KHDA and the UAE leadership. We return to campus on Monday with great confidence in the road ahead, committed to ensuring every student has the support, the experience and the opportunities they came here for.”
Professor Simon Bradbury, Provost and Pro Vice-Chancellor International
Blended Learning and Student Return
Nearly 80% of DMU Dubai’s student body has resumed in-person learning. For those not yet ready to return, the university continues to offer its Global Classroom model, allowing online and on-campus students to learn together in real time with equal access to teaching and resources.
Growing Confidence in Dubai as a Study Destination
Applications to DMU Dubai have risen significantly, with a fivefold increase week on week. Numbers are now approaching levels last seen in February, reflecting renewed confidence in Dubai as a leading destination for higher education.
