School of Coding & AI (SoC) is set to open its first Middle East campus later this year as part of its international expansion plans.
The Wolverhampton-based education and skills provider is investing £3 million into the new operation, which will be based in Dubai Media City and is due to open in March, with the first student intake expected in May.
The Dubai campus will look to upskill around 2,000 students from the UAE and overseas through flexible programmes focused on AI, computer science and digital skills, alongside university progression pathways.
The expansion has been backed by the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), with SoC founder and chief executive Manny Athwal recently taking part in a UK-led trade mission to the UAE.
