Abu Dhabi: In line with the UAE’s vision to support innovation, information technology and development, Abu Dhabi University (ADU) is set to offer six new academic bachelor’s programmes in the science and art streams at its Dubai campus during the next academic semester.
The six new programmes being offered are in mass communication, entrepreneurship and innovation, business administration, architecture, interior designing and information technology.
Dr Waqar Ahmad, chancellor of ADU, said: “The ADU administration sets planned goals through guidelines determined by the UAE government on education. Our programmes are carefully structured to reflect market dynamics and student uptake.”
“At ADU, we constantly seek opportunities to upgrade our offerings and stay ahead of the curve as a committed academic institution. We also ensure the quality of our programmes matches the calibre and competency of global academic providers,” he added.
Dr Ebrahim Sidawi, director of the ADU’s Dubai campus, commenting on the new programmes said: “Our academic programmes and exemplary standards reflect the intensive studies ADU conducts on a periodic basis to track current and future requirements of the labour market.
“These courses help us prepare a generation of students that have the capacity to contribute to the UAE’s transition to a knowledge-based economy. They are also a response to the many requests we have received from students in Dubai and the UAE’s Northern Emirates since the Dubai campus was opened,” he added. Abu Dhabi University hosts a roster of more than 7,500 students across its 44 bachelor’s, diploma, master’s and PhD programmes in its Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Al Ain campuses along with its centre in Al Dhafra.
