A Guide to Degrees Abroad in the Middle East

Locations

What is commonly referred to as the Middle East encompasses the region of western Asia stretching from Iran in the east to Turkey in the west, and is often extended to include northern African countries such as Egypt and Libya as well. While the region has not been historically known for the prestige of its higher academic institutions, there are a growing number of reputable universities where international students are beginning to flock for their studies.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one such country with burgeoning economic and academic prospects where many students choose to earn a degree abroad in the Middle East. Schools here such as United Arab Emirates University and the American University of Sharjah are some of the most highly ranked in the region, and are only growing in reputation. Further to the west, Israel also offers increasingly plentiful opportunities for international students to gain from a high quality degree program.

Other countries where you might consider earning a degree abroad in the Middle East include Iran, Lebanon, and Cyprus. The region is extremely diverse religiously, politically, and culturally, so be sure to research all these factors carefully while looking for the best potential destination where to pursue your degree abroad!

A lifelong dream!

July 05, 2025by: Carmela Dilettoso - ItalyProgram: Graduate Programs at The Lowy International School

My experience at Tel Aviv University has been wonderful and unforgettable. As a mature woman with university education in both Italy and Switzerland, I deeply appreciate this opportunity. It is rich in learning, and I speak not only from an academic perspective but also from life experience. It was my dream to study at the Faculty of Medicine, and this Master’s in Disaster Management allowed me to fulfill that dream. Beyond that, it enabled me to understand the critical importance of managing emergencies and disasters. The wealth of knowledge I gained and the experiences I had—including field exercises like search and rescue training—will be incredibly useful and remain unforgettable. I highly recommend this university. If you are looking for excellent teaching in a welcoming, multicultural environment full of experiences—and all set in the beautiful backdrop of a city that captivates you with its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and rich history—Tel Aviv University is the perfect choice.
