MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Abu Dhabi University’s journey began 17 years ago in 2003, out of a desire to build the first private university in Abu Dhabi, under the guidance and direction of the Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region and President of the Abu Dhabi University Board of Regents, H.H Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Today, not far from its second decade, our young University has several significant and remarkable achievements to its name. Furthermore, Abu Dhabi University is the only private university in the UAE to serve students a cross three campuses – Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and now Dubai. These accolades set ADU apart from its local and regional competition, and elevate it to international standards. We are especially proud of our success in receiving international accreditation and institutional recognition from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), thereby making all its undergraduate and postgraduate degrees internationally recognized. This acknowledgement places Abu Dhabi University in the ranks of other prestigious peers accredited by WSCUC such as Caltech, UCLA and Stanford University. Throughout its history, Abu Dhabi University has forged a path of excellence by implementing innovative initiatives and international standards in teaching, research and community service. There is no question that the university is at the forefront of the UAE’s higher educational scene. In addition to the WSCUC accreditation, five programs offered by the College of Engineering have been accredited by the world-renowned Engineering Accreditation Commission and Computer Accreditation Commission of ABET. Furthermore, the College of Business received international accreditations for all its undergraduate, masters and doctoral programs from both the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the prestigious EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), the top two international systems of quality assessment, improvement and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration. Abu Dhabi University was also the first university to receive the Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award in 2010. For its support and patronage of entrepreneurship, ADU was also awarded the “Best Supporting University for Entrepreneurship” in the UAE and the Arab World during the Mohammed Bin Rashid Award for Young Business Leaders in its 8th cycle. Today, Abu Dhabi University is one of a select few universities in the UAE to enter the ranks of the world’s top 750 universities in Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) world university rankings. ADU’s unfailing commitment to quality standards related to the design, development and delivery of its academic programs and associated support services is evidenced by continual renewal of ISO certification. As the capital’s most prestigious national private university, Abu Dhabi University is committed to supporting the Government’s policy agenda and its Economic Vision 2030. We continuously strive to ensure that our programs are aligned with the market requirements as well as the forecasted manpower needs as defined by the Government’s strategy. Furthermore, while we take pride in the fact that we offer an American curriculum driven by best international practices, we remain firmly committed to the traditions and culture of the UAE. Therefore, our students are competitively prepared to face the global work environment, yet they remain in touch with their national identity and cultural heritage. Our high employment rate stands as testimony to our successful philosophy and we are very proud to have been a part of their preparation for the road ahead. Our great country has been blessed with its wise leadership, and it is only natural that in their honor, Abu Dhabi University continues to actively mentor the next generation, participating in building a specialized national human capital that is equipped with the skills needed to be successful leaders. Therefore, as you take your first steps towards your journey of development and intellectual challenge, Abu Dhabi University is proud to be your University of choice and an active partner in your future success.

At Abu Dhabi University... today we create tomorrow’s success.

Dr. Ali Saeed Bin Harmal AlDhaheri Chairman of the Board of Directors

WELCOME FROM THE CHANCELLOR

Dear Students,

Thank you for your interest in Abu Dhabi University.

Since it opened in 2003, Abu Dhabi University has been dedicated to the intellectual development of individuals who will graduate to be leaders, making a positive contribution to national and global betterment and prosperity. This mission, however, is not limited to educating students: it is extended to the University’s proactive participation in the national development process that will transform the UAE into a knowledge-based economy. Although a young institution, in 2018 we had 7500 students enrolled in our undergraduate and postgraduate programs, our alumni numbers had reached over 9000, and in three consecutive years the employment rate of Abu Dhabi University graduates had averaged an impressive 90% within a year of graduation.

You will be joining an institution recognized internationally for the quality and relevance of its education and research. This is evident in our global rankings: we are in the top 2.8% of world universities and in the top 150 universities under 50 years of age (QS World University Rankings 2018). Diversity of cultures and talents underpins the success of the world’s top universities as well as the most successful cities. The QS rankings show us to be among the world’s elite universities for the diversity of our faculty and students (top ten for both). With most of the world’s nations represented among our students and staff, you will meet with, learn from, and form friendships with talent from across the world.

The quality of our programs is also evident in the accreditations we hold. Colleges of Business and Engineering have achieved the prestigious AACSB, EQUIS and ABET international accreditations. All of the University’s programs are internationally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). You can rest assured that your Abu Dhabi University degree will be recognized and respected by employers and higher education institutions internationally.

Abu Dhabi University’s success stems from clarity of vision and values. We regard students and faculty as a community of scholars, together pursuing knowledge, supported by great professional staff and excellent estate and facilities. We continue to invest in our facilities: in 2017 we added a new building to expand our laboratory provision for engineering and science, completed an extension to the student dormitories, and updated our facilities overall. In September 2017, we opened our Dubai Campus, located in an iconic building in Dubai Knowledge Park, and early 2018 saw the launch of our Al Dhafra region campus. We expect our comprehensive new Campus in Al Ain to be open to students in 2020.

Students and faculty make a university what it is. My job is to harness this collective talent to further enhance the University’s reputation and to contribute to the economy and society in and beyond the United Arab Emirates. Above all, I want to ensure that your time at Abu Dhabi University is a memorable one, not only for helping you achieve your full academic potential and providing you with the skills and qualifications for productive careers, but also for supporting your personal growth as a well-rounded and productive citizen.

I look forward to welcoming you to Abu Dhabi University.
