Frequent Questions

Admission Process

How to get a student visa?

Regent Middle East sponsors visas for international applicants, with processing typically completed within 10–12 business days—though additional security checks can extend this to a month. Required documents include a passport valid for at least six months, a completed application form, your university acceptance letter, a white-background photograph, and proof that you’ve paid for the trimester.

How much does visa processing cost?

Students applying from outside the UAE pay 6,000 dirhams for their visa package, which covers the visa itself (2,500), a refundable insurance deposit (1,500), and medical coverage (2,000). Those already in the country face a higher fee of 7,500 dirhams because the visa component alone rises to 4,000—these are 2025 rates.

What to do after arriving in the UAE?

Once you arrive, you’ll need to complete a medical examination at an accredited clinic—Regent Middle East will direct you to the specific location. After you’ve finished both the medical screening and biometric registration, Emirates ID gets issued, usually arriving within 15–20 business days.

Is medical insurance mandatory?

Yes, coverage comes included as part of the required visa package. Риджент Миддл Ист arranges group insurance that handles outpatient consultations, hospital stays, and emergency treatment throughout the Emirates, giving students comprehensive protection while they’re studying.

Housing and Transportation

Is there on-campus housing?

While the campus itself doesn’t have residential facilities, Student Services connects newcomers with verified landlords who offer options across different budgets and preferences. The team’s familiar with local rental practices and can guide you through finding accommodation that suits your needs.

How to get to campus?

The campus sits in Dubai Knowledge Park, where the metro station is a ten-minute walk away and the tram stop takes just five. An RTA bus stop right inside Knowledge Park links you to major neighborhoods, while Dubai International Airport is 35 minutes away and Abu Dhabi about an hour’s drive.

Student Support at Regent Middle East

What help does the university provide?

The team has extensive experience supporting international arrivals and assists with relocation logistics, opening local bank accounts, selecting courses, and obtaining police clearance certificates when needed. Students can reach out via email to address these practical matters as they settle in.

Does the university help continue studies after program completion?

Student Services coordinates transfers for graduates interested in pursuing top-up degrees or additional programs at Regent College London. This pathway lets you build on what you’ve already completed and continue advancing your qualifications through the network.

Educational Programs

What does Regent institute offer students?

Regent Middle East structures its approach around four core principles: professional business and IT training delivered through Pearson qualifications, the CMP management program, the transformational Thinking into Character course, and practice-focused tracks that prioritize real-world application over excessive theory.

What is Thinking into Character?

Thinking into Character draws from personal development principles taught by Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, and Bob Proctor. The program develops leadership capacity and cultivates a growth mindset, teaching students to set meaningful goals, replace unproductive patterns with beneficial ones, and work through obstacles that stand between them and success.
