Campuses of international colleges and universities in Dubai will be ranked on a scale of one to five stars.
They'll be given a rating based on eight quality indicators, including teaching, research and infrastructure.
It'll also give students something else to look at when they're choosing a university.
The Dubai Executive Council says the move will make the emirate's education sector more competitive.
Here are the eight quality indicators:
- Teaching
- Employability
- Research
- Internationalisation
- Facilities
- Overall Programme Strength
- Well-being
- Social Responsibility and Inclusiveness
