The students are being trained for future potential leadership and to advance their overall learning and understanding of Scotland, in addition to the challenges of global dialogue and exchange.
"The party of 25 brings the total number of female students from the Emirates who have come to Dundee on such visits over the past five years to 175," said Professor Malory Nye, Acting Principal of Al-Maktoum Institute.
"This year we are very pleased to confirm that these students are coming to Al-Maktoum Institute as part of their degree programme, and we are delighted that Lord Provost Letford is able to welcome them to a city that has given great support to the Institute and its work while strengthening its own links with the UAE"said Professor Malory Nye.
Lord Provost Letford said: "I'm delighted to extend a warm welcome to the students on behalf of the people of Dundee".
"They are here not only to study but also to learn more about our local culture and to enjoy what Dundee and, indeed, Scotland has to offer in the way of history and contemporary life. It is a clear sign of the strong links between Dundee and Dubai and also between Scotland and the UAE".
"I'm sure Al-Maktoum Institute's itinerary will make their time here memorable and what they learn will help them in their future careers."
