It’s a place where you pay a bunch of money, and spend a lot of time doing coursework, in order to get a piece of paper called a degree. This piece of paper tells your employer that you had the motivation to get up in the morning, take notes, and go through exams or presentations. Most of the time, unless you’re studying engineering or something, you’re not going to be using the knowledge that you learned in the workplace. It’s also quite expensive, if you live in the United States.

A multi-branch private “educational” setup in the UAE — with locations in Sharjah (x2), Dubai, and Fujairah — specializing in the fine art of turning office space into global academia.

Top Definition
A place where ambition meets ambiguity.
Marketed as an international college, it offers degrees through “partner institutions” based on the student’s payment plan:
Basic: London American University
Mid-range: College de Paris
Premium: Madonna University (USA)
These affiliations are emphasized loudly. The fact that it’s not recognized by the UAE Ministry of Education? Whispered, if at all.
Often operates out of standard business buildings — not campuses — with rapidly changing staff, two-tone branding (college/institute), and accreditations that impress only until Googled.
Popular among students who value a foreign-sounding degree over legal clarity, and among parents who prefer glossy brochures over boring things like “licensing.”
