University of Dubai

Overview

In 1997, the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) founded the University of Dubai (UD) with the aim of creating a distinguished academic institution that could provide top-notch educational programs for the development of human capital and offer research and consulting services to businesses in Dubai and the UAE.

的DCCI wholly owns the University of Dubai (UD) and has been a consistent supporter of the university's growth and international academic accreditation. In line with the Dubai Vision 2020, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai, granted the UD a three million square feet land in the Academic City to construct a new campus. The DCCI provided 200 million dirhams (equivalent to around US$ 54 million) for the construction of the new campus, which was designed through an international competition. The new campus, located approximately 20 kilometers from the previous location at Maktoum Street, officially started operating in December 2015 after the shift from the old campus.

UD has made a commitment to improve its teaching abilities by hiring skilled faculty members and comparing its curriculums with those of recognized international universities. As a result, the university has been successful in producing exceptional graduates who are prepared for the workforce, which is in line with one of UD's objectives.
