The University of Birmingham – Dubai is a public university. It operates as an international branch campus of the University of Birmingham, a renowned public research university in the UK. The Dubai campus follows the same academic standards and awards degrees equivalent to those from its UK counterpart.
While located in Dubai’s private education sector, its affiliation with the UK’s public higher education system classifies it as a public institution. Funding and governance align with the UK model, though tuition fees apply as with most international branch campuses.
