Dubai Education, a subsidiary of Emirates Investment and Development (Emivest), is proud to announce the establishment in Dubai of its second academic institution, L'Université Francaise de Dubai (UFD), a part of Lyon Lumière of France.

Emivest was founded in 1997 for the provision of credible investment and development services which support regional economic, social and environmental progress.

Its impressive portfolio encompasses a wide range of companies who are market leaders in their fields, of which Dubai Education is one.

The new university campus will be located centrally in Dubai and is expected to open its doors to students in the forthcoming academic year.

Université Lumière Lyon 2 already has a Collaboration Agreement with Canadian University of Dubai (CUD), which is the first venture of Dubai Education.

Dubai Education was set up to create, develop, foster and manage diverse academic and socio-cultural institutions, and in so doing to enhance and broaden the choices available for study to those who are looking for something hitherto unavailable in the region. They are justly proud of what has been achieved in a very short space of time at CUD.

As the only Canadian university in Dubai, CUD is providing students with an international educational experience encompassing Canadian perspectives in learning, research and application, whilst appreciating and respecting diverse cultures and UAE values.

CUD aims to provide nationally and internationally recognized qualifications which will enable graduates to pursue employment or further education both locally and abroad.

Student numbers have grown rapidly since the beginning of this academic year, and programs continue to be added as these numbers grow and demand increases; programs are specifically tailored to be suited to the region.

Programs are accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, UAE, and are delivered by highly qualified and inspirational faculty in an excellent learning environment, with the back up of state-of the-art technology and facilities.
