Here, you can enjoy walks, runs, cycling, or simply relax outdoors. DIAC Park also includes basketball and volleyball courts, five-a-side football pitches, tennis courts, and Padel tennis courts.

Giving students a voice
As a student in Dubai, you can have your say through our Students’ Association.
Students are at the heart of everything we do, so we love to hear from them on our future plans for our campus.
In our yearly student elections, you can vote for the person who best represents you. Meanwhile, our Student Leaders programme helps a voluntary team of Student Representatives provide feedback to academic staff.
Working with the Student Guild in the UK, you can also set up student clubs or groups, or organise trips and extracurricular activities. All great ways to meet people and try something new.
