- My university was extremely big and is currently established and I have enjoyed my student life. We have a nice sports complex and vast campus. I loved my graduation ceremony as well
Dislikes
- Low exposure to market, Less opportunities
- Not multicultural, Limited spots for students Food and cafe options
- When I was studying on campus we had very few opportunities to grow and understand the market,now our course structure has changed a lot
Course Curriculum
8
- Our course was 160 credits and gave us knowledge that was technical and design oriented and our course was more of practical than theoretical.
- Our positive aspect was our faculty and our cohesive class room learning and we had a lot of site visits which made it a holistic approach and we were about 35 students out of which 80 percent were Indians. Negative aspect was that our labs could have been more established and worked upon
Admission Experience
- I got scholarship with this one and I took it, I didn’t apply else where after that . I had a 100% scholarship and due to the fact that my family lived in the same country I decided to pursue in this university.i however did look at other options and thought of considering but since my course worked out with this college i went ahead with them and my advisor was really understanding and she helped me a lot during the application process
- Since it was a private university and I studied in UAE itself the criteria was my marks only and my admission process was also very smooth. I had to submit my marks and I got a conditional offer letter and since I was on 100% scholarship it was very smooth. My scholarship though was reduced to 20% and later 10% for the upcoming years. I enjoyed course a lot and learned a lot. This college was upcoming with a new campus and that’s what attracted me to this university
- I applied for September intake and like I had mentioned it was the scholarship and fee structure that influenced my decision. Admissions took about a week and was a very easy process after I submitted my marks I got my offer letter. After my confirmation I paid 3000 refundable deposit after a campus tour and after which I had my registration number and account details form the university
Faculty

- Our design studio and heavy credit course had 2:40 ratio that is 2 faculty for 40 students. Teaching methods were very straightforward. Yet lacked knowledge on 3D outputs.

Pay scale ranges from 4.5k to 5k and they do offer placements in university in terms of marketing, lab, faculty and more.

It is not easy to secure a position as there is a few rounds of interview but it is highly possible.
