Dubai: The UK College of Business and Computing, one of London’s leading higher and vocational education institutes, opened its campus for the first batch of students in Dubai on Wednesday.
The college, located in the heart of Dubai International Academic City, currently has six campuses in central and greater London, including the English language arm UK College of English. With a campus spanning around 19,000 square feet, the Dubai campus will initially deliver Pearson BTEC qualifications in business management, computing, travel and tourism, and health and social care, eventually expanding to other qualifications that suit the UAE’s higher education and employability needs.
Head of sales and marketing for the Dubai campus Ttina Narsian said, “At UK College of Business and Computing, our delivery techniques are designed for all kinds of young and mature learners, as well as exceptional student support through experienced tutors; we aim to ensure that students are able to progress into their academic or professional journey with ease and confidence. We are committed to support the UAE government’s initiative for skill development in the region so that more and more graduates are able to positively contribute to the UAE economy towards a successful Expo 2020 and beyond.”
Employers increasingly prefer to hire graduates who can demonstrate work-ready skills. BTEC diplomas provide students with industry experience from ground level. All the BTEC courses offered by UKCBC are awarded by Pearson, the world’s largest learning company.
