Dubai: Female expatriate students can now join Zayed University (ZU) starting September, said an official from the university.
Admission is also open to expatriate students at the newly established International College at Zayed University based at Dubai Knowledge Village for the new academic year in September.
ZU previously catered to UAE national women only. "The decision was taken two weeks ago. Expatriate female students can join the Zayed University Dubai campus, while the Abu Dhabi campus will still be limited to UAE nationals only," Alicia Tartalo, international admissions official at the university, told Gulf News at the Gulf Education and Training Exhibition.
The five-day event concluded yesterday at the Dubai International Exhibition and Convention Centre.
Tartalo said students can enrol in all programmes offered at the ZU Dubai campus except for the Academic Bridge Programme – an English foundation course.
Further, the International College at Zayed University will be offering students two full-four year baccalaureate programmes leading to degrees in information systems and technology management and general business.
"Fees for those joining the ZU Dubai campus and the International College will be Dh55,000 per year. UAE national female students wishing to join the International College will be required to pay the fees," she said.
"However, students joining the ZU Dubai campus will have to pay at the Dubai Knowledge Village."
Students will be able to apply online by April 15, said Tartalo.
