Zayed University - Abu Dhabi - UAE

Renowned as being a hub of excellence in education, Zayed University is an enduring tribute to the wise leadership and lasting vision of the founding President of the UAE, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan whose name Zayed University proudly bears. Zayed University was founded in 1998 with the mission of becoming a high-quality, student-centered, comprehensive university that would educate the UAE’s future leaders and actively contribute to the nation’s social and economic development. An academic program model built on clear educational outcomes has carried the University through the rapid growth that has occurred since its creation. Zayed University is one university with two c

ampuses, welcoming national and international male and female students in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Its general education program distinguishes it within the UAE national context. Students are expected to think independently, and faculty is supported in their mentoring role by carefully preserving academic freedom, characterized both by the free flow of ideas that is fundamental to a university, and by respect for the principles of the culture and values of the UAE. Zayed University is at the vanguard of the UAE’s public institutions through its commitment to both institutional and specialized accreditations. It is one of two independently accredited institutions within the UAE. This accreditation is through the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, one of six regional accreditation bodies in the United States.
