3. Is the university operating as normal?

Following the latest guidance from the authorities, 久久精品 Dubai is preparing to welcome students back to face-to-face teaching on campus from Monday, 27 April 2026.

We know many of you have been looking forward to returning to campus, reconnecting with classmates, and getting back to the in-person university experience. For students who are unable to return immediately, hybrid learning options will continue to be available where possible, with further details to be shared soon.

As we welcome our community back, measures remain in place to support the wellbeing of students and staff. Important safety information will be shared with students ahead of their return.

4. Is it safe to travel outside the UAE right now?

There are a number of commercial options available. However, check for the latest updates from your airline or tour operator, as well as the instructions from local authorities, and the status of any border crossings before you travel. If you are traveling by air do not travel to the airport unless your airline has confirmed your reservation.

Make sure you have access to emergency supplies and essential medication. Travel within or out of UAE is at your own risk. Keep your departure plans under review and ensure your travel documents are up to date, including any visas required for onward travel.
