The University of Stirling – Ras Al Khaimah is a private university. It operates as an international branch campus of the University of Stirling, a public university in the UK. The Ras Al Khaimah campus follows the same academic standards but functions as a private institution under UAE regulations. It offers degrees in fields like business, sports, and education, catering primarily to students in the Middle East.
As a private entity, it relies on tuition fees and private funding rather than government support. This distinction affects its governance, funding model, and operational structure compared to public universities in the UAE.
