The Middle East is attracting more and more international students and world-class professors as the governments in the region invest heavily in higher education. The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia pride themselves on brand new universities and branch campuses of top-ranked global universities. The campuses are modern, filled with state-of-the-art research equipment, and have diverse and often secular academic environments. Most degrees are taught in English and are accompanied by generous scholarships. Additionally, many well-known Western universities have branch campuses in the Middle East. These include NYU, the London Business School, Northwestern, INSEAD, Georgetown, and the Sorbonne.
