Abstract
Very few geographic studies have been carried out on student enrolment in the Gulf region. To the best knowledge of the present author, no geographic study exists on student enrolment at the UAE University. This paper is primarily concerned with analyzing one of the prominent characteristics of UAE University students, ie the pattern of sex distribution, thereby hoping to fill a research gap in the geographical literature. The grand total of UAE University students has exceeded 12,000, with 78% females and 22% males. The females proportion is considered to be the highest when compared with other neighbouring countries. This study aims to analyze this particular characteristic in its spatial context. The analysis will be statistically tested by chi-square (x2) to determine to which extent the pattern differs from one area to another. The conclusion is that more male students from Abu Dhabi and Al-Ain areas and more female students from Dubai area come to study at UAE University than were expected.
