How to find out if your university is accredited in the UAE

If you have just started your search for a UAE-based university, to begin your next phase of education, one of the first questions that may come to your mind is – how do I know if the university or college is accredited in the UAE? Ensuring that you study at an institution that is recognised by the relevant authorities is of critical importance, because at the time of applying for a job once you graduate, you would need to submit an attested degree. The UAE’s Ministry of Education also emphasises the necessity for students to register with accredited higher education institutions and programmes to ensure that their qualifications can get attested and recognised by employers. On its website, the Ministry also stresses that students should ensure that the selected specialisation is accredited by the Ministry, to be sure that the obtained qualification will be attested by the Ministry. The Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) is the UAE Federal Government Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. You can easily find the list of list of licenced institutions in UAE on the CAA website here: https://www.caa.ae/Pages/Institutes/All.aspx To find specific specialisations that have been accredited by CAA, you can visit this website: https://www.caa.ae/Pages/Programs/All.aspx
