Symbiosis was established in 1971, with the motto of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' the world is one family. Dedicated to promoting international understanding through quality education, Symbiosis is happy to now bring its commitment to a globally valued, multidisciplinary education to students in the UAE.

The university's strong global linkages are testament of its proactive approach to providing an internationalized learning experience to all its staff and students. The same standards of teaching-learning-research and pastoral care will create a conducive learning environment at its SIU, Dubai campus, leading to overall student well-being.

We look forward to welcoming students from Africa and Asia, in addition to the large Indian diaspora in the Gulf, tour new campus. This diversity will enrich the educational experience by bringing together perspectives from different cultural backgrounds. The focus on helping students realize their potential aligns with our broader goal of education, which is not just about imparting knowledge but also empowering individuals to reach their personal and professional aspirations.

Our emphasis on multidisciplinary education is forward-thinking. Encouraging students to choose courses from multiple disciplines and broaden their perspectives is rooted in the need to be aware of the interconnectedness of knowledge in the real world today. The overarching goal of creating globally valued graduates indicates our commitment to preparing students for success in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world.

This emphasis on diversity, multidisciplinary education, and international engagement will help us position SIU, Dubai as a hub for holistic and globally centered learning.

I extend a warm welcome to students to become a part of our rich legacy and experience the highest standards of learning at Symbiosis.

Symbiosis upholds its motto “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” the world is one family in all its pursuits. The diverse backgrounds of the students who come here from 85 countries from all across the world, contribute to an international environment. The wide milieu of ideas that are brought to the table through the interactions and collaborations among students both inside and outside the classroom are contributive in enhancing the students 'intellectual acuity.

The establishment of the Dubai campus is a significant step towards enhancing the inclusivity and diversity, that is predominant in all the Symbiosis' campuses. The University's global outreach and dedication to creating global citizens has been a guiding force behind its several initiatives.

As one of the largest Universities in India, Symbiosis has strong global linkages and an educational portfolio that boasts of excellent infrastructure, well-equipped classrooms, accommodation and an environment that assists students in realising their potential while embracing diversity. The interdisciplinary studies will allow students to choose from across multiple disciplines thus broadening their perspective and helping them gain knowledge of various domains, which makes them more adaptable to a global environment. I am sure that students from the Gulf region, West Asia and Africa, and a huge Indian diaspora in the Gulf Region, will benefit from this campus.

Through the multidisciplinary education at the Dubai Campus, we aim to create globally valued graduates and expose students and faculty to international, intercultural and comparative aspects.

On behalf of the University, I wish you success and welcome you to the Symbiosis family!
