College of Law

The College of Law was established in 2014. In this short period of time, the College has been able to generate tremendous interest in the Master of Laws (LLM) program and attract a good number of students.

Since Dubai is a hub for investments and services, our present programs have been designed to cater specifically to this market. The University of Dubai recognized that there is a shortage of local manpower, well-versed in settling disputes arising from these investments and the illegal activities that could arise as a result of these investments, hence the University taken up the task of creating this manpower. Thus, the College offers two LLMs delivered in English, one focused (track) on Arbitration and Dispute Resolution and the other on Financial Crimes and Money Laundering. The two tracks can be combined so that a student will have the option to earn an LLM with dual concentrations.

General Education

The General Undergraduate Curriculum Requirements (GUCR) program is designed to enable students to successfully pursue their studies in their majors and to gain general required skills, values and attitudes needed in order to excel in their respective areas of specialization and to broaden their background knowledge in areas outside their major disciplines.

the University requires that all students must complete several credit hours of course work to reach desirable levels of competency and proficiency in important skill areas such as English, mathematics, computer and internet use, information literacy, critical and creative thinking and interpersonal communication skills.
