Re: Where to do BEng or BSc in Dubai?
Thanks for the info. To be honest I didn't realise it was so intense. Maybe i'll consider doing something else. Perhaps i'll start with something like a HNC or foundation degree and do top up modules at my own pace.
I just absolutely cannot afford to take time off work to do full time education and i'm at the point in my life where I'm kicking myself for not doing more in my younger years, especially during my time in the military

If you could complete something at this level on your own and then look for a company willing to employ you on perhaps a 4 day week or with allotted course breaks giving you a chance to gain a higher qualification. Though you may have to commit to staying with them for a while.
I'm not sure how common that arrangement would be in the UAE, I doubt a local company would do it. You'd be looking for an originally Uk based company.

A bachelor's by distance is going to take forever, and if it doesn't it'll be suspect. A master's is different, but that's the nature of the beast.

Once I am at BSc or BEng i'll look to do a masters degree anyway as I can then push for CEng or IEng but I'm guessing i'll be in my 40s by then (31 at the moment)

I understand this. I am currently approaching several places that offer HNC / HND qualifications. I'll look to do either of those and progress slowly so at least I can have something in the more short term to add to my CV.
