Book your Student Transportation Service

We know getting to and from campus is a vital part of the university experience, which is why we have created an efficient Student Transportation Service to make sure students arrive safely and punctually to campus.

Our Transportation Service operates routes in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Ajman.

Costs - 2024-2025 Academic Year

Free Transport Options

For students living at The Myriad and taking public transport to campus, we offer a series of free shuttles buses.

Public Transport in Dubai

You can apply for a Student Nol Card, which gets you cheaper public transport fares across Dubai. Visit our Transportation page to learn more, or ask for assistance at the Student Support Hub.

We’re partnered with The Myriad to provide all our students with affordable, premium student accommodation that is well connected to both campuses.

The Myriad is a brand new, state-of-the-art student living community located in Dubai International Academic City (DIAC). You’ll stay only 5 minutes away from DIAC and 35 minutes away from Dubai Knowledge Park.

A member of Middlesex University Dubai’s Accommodation Team will have a 24/7 office onsite – ensuring you are supported throughout your stay.

The Myriad offers two excellent pricing packages including: furnishings, utilities, high speed Wi-Fi and broadband, on-site laundry facilities, sporting facilities, 24/7 security, and community features.

Additional costs apply, such as a AED 2,500 security deposit.

UAE laws require all non-national students to obtain a Student Visa for the duration of their studies. We provide Student Visas for applicants studying on all our academic programmes.

Student visas are issued for duration of 12 months at a time, which depending on your course you may need to renew. For example, if you’re an Undergraduate student, you may require 2 or 3 visa renewals during your course of study.

You need to apply as early as possible if you require a Student Visa. The process normally takes 15-20 days. Applications typically undergo a security check by UAE government authorities (which may occasionally result in delays beyond the control of Middlesex University Dubai).
 

Yon can only apply for your UAE Student Visa once you have:

• Accepted your Offer of Admission
• Cleared all academic conditions according to your individual offer (if any)
• Paid your tuition fees, along with the Student Visa annual fee and visa deposit

To avoid a delay in your application, you need to ensure that all documents required for your Student Visa application are complete.

In the unlikely event that a student’s visa application is unsuccessful, the visa deposit will be refunded. The UAE government may retain the annual visa fee.

Visit our Visa page to view all costs and which documents you need to submit with your application.
