Checking accreditation before you enrol

Use the official register

Search the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation register for the exact institution and programme title where applicable. Check the status rather than relying on an old brochure or a similar programme name.

Ask about professional pathways

For regulated careers, programme study and professional licensing are different steps. Ask the relevant professional authority about requirements before committing to a course.

Consider your destination

If you plan to work or study abroad, ask the receiving institution or recognition authority about its process. A local listing does not answer every international recognition question.
