University of the West of Scotland has established links with the UAE and we are delighted to be welcoming a growing number of Emirati students to study with us.
With an extensive catalogue of undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes designed to meet the demands of research and industry, the University continues to offer a wide range of opportunities to Emirati applicants.
There is an established community of Emirati students at UWS who play an active role in many of the University’s social societies and sports clubs. This means that as a student at UWS, you will have the opportunity to meet people from your home country as well as making new friends from Scotland and other parts of the world.
Our Paisley Campus is just 10 minutes from Glasgow, which is one of Europe’s most diverse cities and includes a large Muslim population. The city is home to twelve mosques and a wide range of Halal butchers and shops. Furthermore, UWS has its own Muslim Society which represents and caters for Muslim students on campus.
Our Admissions team are familiar with the UAE education system and qualifications. If you have any questions about your application to study at UWS, please contact our Admissions team on: internationaladmissions@uws.ac.uk.
