United
\nArab Emirates University, the country’s first university,\u00a0was founded in 1976.<\/p>\n

Since then it has only accepted Emirati students, but it will
\nnow accept non-Emirati undergraduate students – making the step\u00a0a first in 40 years.<\/p>\n

Since 2013,\u00a0the\u00a0university has been in\u00a0the top 50
\nuniversities in the Times Higher Education rankings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Diversity will be a good thing for the university because…<\/h3>\n

Interaction with international students will expose Emirati students to a different set of ideas and experiences which can fuel innovation.\u00a0Professor\u00a0Mohamed Albaili\u00a0from the university also believes sharing stories in class discussions\u00a0will help\u00a0remove stereotypes.<\/p>\n

He also told The National<\/a> that\u00a0the extra income from fees paid by expat students will help the university, which like other institutions,\u00a0struggle to compete for limited research funding.<\/p>\n

However, Emirati students would be given priority…<\/h3>\n

Therefore the international enrolment would be a small\u00a0number. Zayed University took the first step to enrol international students in 2010 with the count being\u00a0334 expats\u00a0among 8,800\u00a0students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"United Arab Emirates University, the country’s first university,\u00a0was founded in 1976.
