If I take a part-time course, can I study another subject simultaneously in UAE?

It depends. In the UAE, studying a part-time course alongside another subject is generally allowed, but each university sets its own rules on concurrent enrollment and credit limits.

- Some universities require approval if you want to take more or fewer courses than the standard part-time load.
- You must ensure both programs permit simultaneous study and that you can manage the workload.
- If you are also working part-time, balancing work and multiple courses can be challenging.

University policies and visa rules are subject to change.
