List of universities and colleges in the United Arab Emirates
Higher education institutions in the United Arab Emirates need to be recognized by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA), which is part of the Ministry of Education.[1] The Ministry of Education does not recognize educational institutions based in free zones. While individual Emirates are responsible for managing the standards of educational institutions within their free zones, universities Dubai is the only Emirate that does so through the Knowledge and Human Development Authority's University Quality Assurance International Board. Ras Al Khaimah is currently working on tightening rules and regulations that govern higher academic institutions in the Emirate.[2]

International rankings
These are the universities' rankings in 2019 according to THE (Times Higher Education)[6] and in 2020 according to QS (Quacquarelli Symonds).[7] Definitions of categories used for measurement of both THE and QS are missing. It would be helpful if the UAE provided its own rankings according to its own measurement system. The Tuning Project 2000 is integrated in the THE rankings in order to accommodate local and cultural diversity and to ameliorate against rankings with 'Western' bias.

|---|---|---|
| Al Falah University | - | - |
| University of Birmingham | 116 | 81 |
| American University of Sharjah | 801-1000 | 371 |
| United Arab Emirates University | 351-400 | 329 |
| Khalifa University | 301-350 | 268 |
