Special Benefits Policy

Special Benefits Program

At Canadian University Dubai, we value the spirit of knowledge acquisition and professional advancement, and strive to provide access and support wherever possible, our Special Benefits Program being a stellar example.

Through this program, we encourage and promote access to higher education for family members of our students, employees and those of the EMIVEST Group. The Special Benefits Program offer is also applicable to government employees.
