United Arab Emirates: common questions
At branch campuses, the awarding institution is typically the home university, so the certificate is the same. We confirm exactly which body awards your qualification before you apply.
Nigerian academic documents usually need attestation for use in the UAE. It takes time and has a specific order of steps — we guide you through it so it does not delay your admission.
There are work-permit routes and, in some cases, longer-term residence options for graduates. Rules change, so we confirm what currently applies to your situation.
