Today, AUE enrols just under 2,000 students across various faculties, including business administration, media and mass communication, computing and information technology, design, security and global studies, and law and education. All programmes are offered in English, with the option to study in Arabic for students pursuing law, public relations, or education. Notably, the education degree introduced in 2021 places a strong emphasis on special education. Classes are held on the AUE campus, situated in Dubai International Academic City, with a capacity for up to 4,400 students. The university is also developing accommodation facilities for 1,900 students. In 2022, AUE partnered with Dubai Police to offer degree courses for 40 prisoners.
