Travel arrangements and arrival

Students going to Dubai on a Go Global campus transfer will need to obtain a Student Residence Visa before they travel. Read the visa requirements for Dubai Campus study.

Staff in the Dubai campus Visa Office can provide assistance and support for student visas. Contact the Team: email (dubaivisa@hw.ac.uk), phone + 971 45717000.

Check our student accommodation details including fees and terms and how to apply. Accommodation fees are paid upfront. Accommodation is based on-campus. Accommodation can also be provided off-campus at Etisalat Academy. A transport service is available from the campus to the student accommodation (if required). If you have any questions about student accommodation please contact student-services-dubai@hw.ac.uk or call +971 45717000.

Home students studying at our UK campuses and transferring to Dubai should apply to their relevant funding body (SAAS). Rest of UK (RUK) students should apply to Student Finance as normal but will normally only be charged 50% of the annual fee.

Students who cannot access funding from their funding body will normally be charged the Dubai campus tuition fee.

EU and Overseas students studying at the UK campus pay overseas tuition fees directly to the Dubai campus. Students are responsible for arranging a refund of any overpayments to any campus as a result of a campus transfer. If you transfer in Semester 2, please ensure you arrange to terminate any payment plans in place at your home campus.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) provides foreign travel advice for the United Arab Emirates. This includes information on local laws and customs. The FCO also provides advice for LGBT travellers.
