Abstract	This study examines the role of private universities in building knowledge society in UAE using quantitative approach. We distributed 30 questionnaires to three selected private universities. We found that the association between creating knowledge, storing knowledge, capturing knowledge, faculty resources and infrastructure and knowledge sharing are positively strengthened sustainability of higher education to build knowledge community in UAE. The creating knowledge, storing knowledge, capturing knowledge, faculty resources and infrastructure and knowledge sharing are significant variables in explaining building knowledge community in UAE due to their positive interconnectivity. We suggest that education sector managers should extend the quality enhancement scope to student satisfaction because satisfaction of student is highly essential in sustaining private universities to compete within and outside the system since part of the objectives of knowledge economy is to provide a quality educational services that will arrest the attention of students residing in UAE and abroad. HEIs should improve overall service for a longterm revenue generation. To meet the international standards of education, special attention is required to upgrade infrastructure and other allied facilities, as well as to improve the communication skills of the students, to establish efficient quality enhancement cells and job placement cells, and to arrange industrial visits and study tours to enhance practical skills of the students. Keynotes: Higher Education, Sustainability and Knowledge community.
