Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in the UAE
UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR or sometimes MHESR) in Abu Dhabi, information and contact details.
- The MOHESR is the UAE federal government body and authority that regulates tertiary level education in the country.
- The MOHESR licenses universities and colleges in the UAE, and accredits their courses through the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) division of the MOHESR.
- Note that if an institute is licensed by the MOHESR, that does not mean all courses offered are accredited - each course is awarded individual accreditation (or not).
- There are many tertiary level institutes in the UAE that are not accredited, especially those operating in academic free zones such as Dubai Academic City, Dubai Knowledge Village, and the RAK Education and Academic Zone. Also most branch campuses of foreign universities (many of which operate out of one of the education free zones).
Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA)
- The CAA is a division of the higher education ministry that awards accreditation for courses at universities and colleges in the UAE.
- If a tertiary level course offered in the UAE is not accredited by the CAA, that means it will not be accepted as a prerequisite for enrolment to a course that is accredited by the CAA, and will usually not be acceptable as a qualification for jobs at UAE institutions accredited by the CAA, many schools in the UAE, and UAE government sector jobs.
