Hi all,

Just out of curiosity, which unis/colleges in the UAE teach men and women separately or have men's and women's campuses... I know HCT colleges are included. How about the rest? UAEU? Or any others?

The only integrated university that I know of is AUSharjah. There are possibly some other private universities that may be. I know that University of Sharjah is segregated.

All government educational institutions are segregated.

Khlaifa University in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi have been co-educational for more than two years

HCT Sharjah has had mixed gender classes of an evening for about 2 or 3 years now.

Someone PMed me about Khalifa and we were discussing whether it was private or government. It seems to be a sort of hybrid... private, but the government pays all of the tuition in the form of scholarships, even for non-Emiratis.

Vic... just curious about the HCT classes. Is this part-time "adult education" or regular intake students?

These are evening class students who are all Emirati - doing business or engineering and have graduated from their higher diploma and now studying for their degree

Some HCT Colleges also have women and men in the same classes.
