05Accreditation and permits
Check us before you trust us.
In the UAE, a college needs a permit to operate and its programmes need academic approval. A real college lists both here, with reference numbers and a link to the authority that issued them, so you can check them yourself.

Corvale College Dubai is a fictional brand made for a Marketlube concept build, so these slots are left empty on purpose.
06International students
Moving to Dubai to study, step by step.
Full-time students from outside the UAE usually study on a student residence visa sponsored by their college. Rules are set by the UAE authorities and change from time to time, so we confirm the current requirements with every student. In general terms, this is how it works.
-
Your visa application starts once you are enrolled full time.
-
Usually a passport with at least six months' validity, a passport photo on a white background, your offer letter and attested certificates.
-
We apply for your entry permit. When it is issued you can travel to Dubai.
-
After you arrive, you complete a medical fitness test and give biometrics for your Emirates ID. Our student services team books the appointments with you.
-
Your student residence visa is issued for the length of your studies, renewed as needed. You need health insurance for the whole time.
07Campus life
A campus built for the heat, the hours and the people in it.
Shaded all the way
Colonnades link every building, so you can cross campus in August without leaving the shade.
Open late
Design studios and the computing lab stay open until 11 pm on weekdays. The library opens at 7 am.
Twenty-two student societies
From robotics and Model UN to calligraphy, futsal and a film club that books the lecture theatre on Thursdays.
Room for everyone
Prayer rooms for men and women, a women's lounge, a quiet room, and a Ramadan timetable with earlier classes and later studio hours.
Getting hereAl Barsha South, Dubai. A free shuttle runs every 20 minutes to the nearest metro station from 7 am to 10 pm.
08Careers
Careers support starts in your first term, not your last.
One adviser for your whole degree
You see the same person each term to plan internships, modules and your CV.
A credit-bearing internship in your third year

Alumni mentoring
For final-year students.
We do not publish placement rates on this concept site. A live site would show audited graduate outcomes, with the year and the method.
A note from the dean
We keep classes small so that nobody hides at the back, and we keep our fees public so that nobody is surprised at the front.
09Open days

Meet the teaching staff, sit in on a short class, see the studios and labs, and get your documents checked on the spot. The application fee is waived for anyone who applies on the day.
This is a concept build. Nothing you type is sent or stored.
