The American University in Dubai - (Private)


The American University in Dubai is a private, non-sectarian institution of higher learning founded in 1995. It serves UAE nationals and international students who seek world-class career-oriented education. The curricula across its degree programs are skill-based and professionally conditioned. To the extent relevant to any given discipline, the University fosters a learning mode which is collaborative, thus enhancing the student's ability to work in teams. AUD's degree programs are supported by appropriate technology and facilities. Students' success in a chosen field of endeavor is, in our view, the ultimate test of the effectiveness of the educational experience offered by AUD.

Curriculum / Programs
AUD's mission to prepare students for successful careers -- through their intellectual, personal and professional development -- finds its expression in AUD's degree-granting programs, all of which are based on imparting a combination of theoretical knowledge and technical skill.
Acquisition, through the Liberal Arts component of all programs, of competencies and knowledge across a broad spectrum of disciplines, further prepares the student to assume a role as a productive member of society -- whether local or global. AUD curricula provide "whole person" education with a view to meeting the challenges of life in an increasingly complex century.
