- MU Dubai website gets a malware warning from Google when checked September 2009, and computer firewall gives an intrusion warning when website visit attempted. Appears to be no fees information, full contact details, or location map on website anyway.
- Manipal University Dubai now at Dubai International Academic City (was at Dubai Knowledge Village). Date of move was?
- Admission Office tel +971-4-4291214, Help Desk tel +971-4-3694540 according to MU Dubai website.
- Other sources have the following contact numbers for MUD: tel +971-4-3911988, +971-4-3694540, +971-4-3664580, fax +971-4-3694541.
- Additional email might be mahe@mahedubai.com.
- PO Box 50689 listed in some sources for Manipal Academy Dubai is for Double Star Trading LLC in Dubai. Looks like it might have been a typo instead of PO Box 500689 which is the correct one as far as we know.
- Manipal Dubai has a blog maintained by Media & Communications Department students at www.manipaldubaiblog.com.
- MU Dubai presumably is not related to the Sikkim Manipal University MBA courses in RAK.
21 April 2009 - new joint programs at Manipal Dubai with other universities overseas in Canada, India, and the UK
- MBA (M&E) in Media Management & Entertainment at Manipal University (MU) Dubai and Whistling Woods International Institute Ltd, Mumbai Film City. Specialisations in Broadcasting, Event Management, Film, New and Interactive Media. Conflicting locations given in press release for first year of study - "One year of training at Dubai" referring to the first year of the program, but later in the same press release - "The First Year of the Programme would be conducted at Manipal University's Campus in Bangalore".
- Certificate program in Media (6 months) from Whistling Woods possibly?
- BBM (eBanking and Finance) and BBA at Manipal Dubai and the University of Fraser Valley (UFV), British Columbia, Canada. UFV also has a campus in Chandigargh, India.
- Information Science program at Manipal Dubai and UFV under consideration.
- Biotechnology degree: year 1 at Manipal Dubai Biotechnology Department, years 2 & 3 at Lancaster University (LU), UK School of Health and Medicine.
- Engineering degree: years 1 & 2 at Manipal Dubai Engineering Department, years 3 & 4 at LU Faculty of Science and Technology.
13 December 2006
- Presumably Manipal Academy of Higher Education in Dubai (MAHE Dubai) name change to Manipal University Dubai (MUD), or Manipal University Dubai Campus (MUDC?) with effect from January 2007, as a result of MAHE mother institute in India name change from Manipal Academy to Manipal University.
- Other MAHE branches in Malaysia, Mangalore, Nepal, and Sikkim have similar name changes. Other MAHE international institutes or joint ventures possible in Mauritius (a medical and engineering college JV with a Sri Lankan college), and an Allied Health Sciences Institute in Dubai.
- MAHE India originally started as Kasturba Medical College in 1953 in Mangalore. It was granted deemed university status in India in 1993.
