The University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD) is a private university. It is an international branch campus of the University of Wollongong in Australia, which is a public institution. UOWD operates independently in Dubai under the regulations of the UAE’s Ministry of Education and the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).
While its parent university in Australia is publicly funded, UOWD relies on tuition fees and private funding. It offers accredited programs and maintains academic standards aligned with its Australian counterpart, catering primarily to students in the Middle East and beyond.
