President’s Message
On behalf of the University of Dubai, I would like to welcome you to the new 2020-2021 edition of the graduate student catalog.
As you all know, the University of Dubai (UD) was established in 1997 by Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI). The main idea behind this was to establish an academic institution that will serve the business community in delivering highest quality educational programs for human capital development and undertake research and consultancy for businesses in Dubai/UAE.
This commitment led UD to take strategic initiatives to enhance the pedagogical capabilities at the university by recruiting highly qualified faculty and benchmarking its curricula with accredited international universities. This has enabled to produce high caliber graduates to the industry which is one of the UD’s Missions.
Besides, UD is a student-centric institution and thus is sensitive to students’ concerns for their all-round career development. We are also proud to inform all the stakeholders that, UD has three colleges, Dubai Business School (DBS) offering Bachelor, Masters and PhD programs. All Business Programs offered by the Dubai Business School are internationally accredited by AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) which is the gold standard for quality management education globally.
The second college is College of Engineering and Information Technology (CEIT), offering Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (i. with specialization in Communication Engineering), (ii, with specialization in Power and Energy Engineering). The Bachelor of Science in Computing and Information Systems (Concentration in Information Systems Security) (BSc CIS ISS is internationally accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology) – CAC (Computing Accreditation Commission) and a Master of Science in Data Science.
In additional to these academic programs, the College of Law offers two unique concentrations for the Master of Laws programs: one in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution and one in Financial Crimes and Money Laundering.
One of the additional strengths of UD is to provide continuing education opportunities for lifelong learning. These are delivered by our Center for Executive Development through professional development certificate programs.
Finally, I’m glad to be a part of this leading and reputed university in Dubai and hope to maintain the highest standards of the education in the country with your cooperation.
I wish you a successful year 2020-2021!
Dr. Eesa M. Bastaki
President, University of Dubai
