The nation’s commitment to education can be seen across metrics. Recently, the UAE strengthened its position as a global study destination, with four cities featuring in the QS Best Student Cities 2027 rankings and Abu Dhabi emerging as the biggest riser among Emirati cities.
Abu Dhabi climbed eight places to 72nd globally, while Dubai ranked 79th overall and secured an impressive fifth place worldwide for Student Voice — a measure based on feedback from international students.
The latest rankings highlight a trend increasingly visible across the country: students value the UAE’s safety, diversity, lifestyle and overall study experience. While the global reputation and scale of its universities are still developing, the country’s appeal among students continues to grow.
