Eighty-two per cent of Dubai’s international universities have been given four- and five-star ratings, in the latest cycle of the Rating of International Higher Education Institutions in Dubai.

The rating system measures the quality of education and services provided to more than 16,000 students in Dubai’s 17 international higher education institutions, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) said Friday.

After a year’s interruption due to the pandemic, the Rating of International Higher Education Institutions in Dubai is back for 2022.

Dr Wafi Dawood, CEO of the strategy and planning sector at KHDA said, “Since it started in 2018, the Rating of International Higher Education Institutions in Dubai has given students and their parents the information and data they need to make confident decisions about their future.”

After inspecting a total of 17 institutions, this year’s ratings showed that 10 universities achieved a five-star rating, four achieved a four-star rating, two received a three-star rating, and one university received a two-star rating. No university has achieved a five-star plus ranking.
