About the campus

SKEMA has chosen Dubai as its base in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Situated at the intersection of the East and the West, Dubai is ranked third globally for talent flows by the Harvard Business Review. A cosmopolitan, forward-thinking city, it is home to 90% expatriates and 30% international students.

SKEMA's Dubai campus is more than merely a place of learning; it is a centre of academic excellence where students from across the world meet, exchange ideas, and grow together.

The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), which hosts SKEMA's campus, is not only a world-renowned financial centre, but also home to prestigious academic institutions. This prominent academic proximity enables the school to strengthen its international network and offer its students unique opportunities for collaboration and learning. Dubai's spirit of initiative and innovation can be felt everywhere, making it the 'city of possibilities'.

About the city

Once a small fishing village in the Arabian Gulf, Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).  

Dubai has become one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, with people of over 200 nationalities living side by side in this city of 3.6 million inhabitants, making it a truly multicultural society.

Dubai is within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is one of the busiest airports in the world. It handles more than 90 million passengers annually and operates more than 6,500 weekly flights to over 270 cities.

Dubai is particularly famous for its eye-catching landmarks, including the Burj Khalifa (the world's tallest building), the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain, the Burj Al Arab, and Palm Jumeirah, among others. The stunning Museum of the Future is the latest addition to the Dubai skyline. Dubai is also known for its picturesque beaches and desert landscapes, as well as its excellent culinary scene bursting with diverse flavours.

Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)

Thanks to a strategic agreement with the DIFC Academy and the University Leadership Council, SKEMA Business School is located at the heart of the dynamic Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a major financial centre in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (MEASA) region.

This dynamic, cosmopolitan district is home to over 4,300 companies and 36,000 professionals, offering a unique setting where innovation and business meet.  

The DIFC stands out for its frequent cultural and professional events, which offer our students excellent opportunities to meet new people and enrich their experience in this unique district.

With its ultra-modern urban architecture and vibrant energy, the Dubai International Financial Centre is a vibrant neighbourhood with galleries showcasing the work of emerging and established artists from around the world. The high point of this lively cultural life is the 'Art Nights' in the Gate Village, during which the district comes alive with live music concerts and various exhibitions.
