Hi

My family and (me) lol plan to move to Dubai in September and i would like to join a university. I am from the UK and would like to know what i will be expected to show qualification-wise/entry requirements in order to do Business at university.

if somebody can answer this, it would be greatfully appreciated.

Thanks!!

Im doing my A2's this year

Done my GCSE's in 2003 and AS levels in 2004. I really want to nail down a place in University guaranteed before i come, then i would have a guaranteed chillin' place

Which universities/ courses would you guys recommend? (i hate maths(economics/finance) waaay outta the question

I passed my GCSE's with 11 A-C's

AS-level, so far i have A,B,C (resitting some papers this year)

A2 is tough, and i haven't performed too well lol.. inshallah all should be good come June, plenty time to revise, cheers dude.. for the prompt replies, will be attempting to hold down a place asap.

I too have many friends who have been there and transferred to states , UK and Canada. They told me it was better to go abroad than to study in that American UNi.

Did they have any particular reason to why the A.University is bad??

Yeah i don't have a choice, i am 95% moving to Dubai and definitely going to have to university there

They didn't like the courses they were taking (these friends are above average) and didn't like the standard of some students there. Example one of my friend who was taking computer science told me they didn't teach Java there which is a basic course!. This was about 3-4 yrs ago

Ah right..

s'all good.. i'll make sure i'll find a quality course.

does that make people dumb then in the universities??

it's all about making contacts aswell, Dubai being such a cosmopolitan place.. im sure i'll find many people from various backgrounds, and university is all about having fun too and socialising, hope that's possible in the Dubai Universities.

I somewhat agree with fatty on some issues. But some top companies prefer graduates from well-established uni than others (comparing entry-level graduates) and trust me in this. I agree experience counts but to get that experience u have to works @ss-shit to get job initially and I have seen employees hire students from well-established uni not bcos the uni id "good or famed" cos either they have hired the previous graduates from these unis and are satisfied with em or the unis train the grdautes up to date. By the way , if u don't like the courses there u can transfer some credits to other uni as my friends had done.

very true.. so you guys have any idea what the specific entry requirements are, as i have been looking at the university websites.. and show other grading/examination systems.. i have studied GCSE, A-level(by the end of the year), and also have an Oracle internet academy passes in JAVA/SQL

thanks.

yeah just posted a message, cheers
