The UAE wants Dubai in the world’s top 10 education cities by 2033 and MAHE Dubai is answering with programmes built for the next decade of work, not the last. A new sector roundup in Gulf Business spotlights universities rolling out AI, robotics and finance-tech driven offerings in line with Education 33 (E33). MAHE Dubai features prominently for expanding future-focused degrees and access through scholarships. 

How MAHE Dubai is advancing the vision?

• Future-ready degrees: We’ve launched a BTech in Computer Science & Financial Technology and refreshed BA (Hons.) pathways (English, Psychology, Sociology, Filmmaking, Mass Communication) to blend creative, human and digital skills - exactly what employers now demand 

• Built for the AI economy: The BTech (CS & FinTech) develops fluency across computing, data and finance so graduates can operate at the intersection of technology and markets 

• Access at scale: Merit-based scholarships of up to 30% for UG and 10% for PG widen opportunity and accelerate a high-skill talent pipeline for the UAE

Our aim is simple: prepare hybrid, AI-literate graduates who can create value from day one. That’s how we support Dubai’s education and talent agenda - by aligning curriculum, scholarships and real-world learning with what the economy needs next.

Gulf Business notes the collective push by institutions at Dubai Knowledge Park and Dubai International Academic City to introduce programmes in AI, robotics and other growth fields, aligning with E33’s goals and Dubai’s 2033 benchmark. MAHE Dubai’s programme expansion and scholarships directly reinforce that national direction.
