MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
Abu Dhabi University’s (ADU) journey began in 2003 under the guidance and direction of the Ruler’s Representative in Al
Dhafra Region and President of the Abu Dhabi University Board of Trustees, H.H Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Today,
as the University approaches its second decade, Abu Dhabi University is the only private university in the UAE to serve students
across campuses in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Al Dhafra Region, and Dubai.
Since its inception, ADU has set itself apart from the national and regional competition, reaching international standards. We
are incredibly 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), ensuring all our undergraduate and
postgraduate degrees are internationally recognized. This accreditation places Abu Dhabi University in the same ranks as
other prestigious institutions accredited by WSCUC, including 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 education arena.
In addition to the WSCUC accreditation, six programs offered by the College of Engineering have been accredited by the world-
renowned Engineering Accreditation Commission and Computer Accreditation Commission of ABET. Three new engineering
programs will attain the ABET accreditation once the first cohort has graduated. Additionally, the Bachelor of Architecture has
received Part 1 validation from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
The College of Business has received international accreditations for all its undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral
programs from 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. The College of Health Sciences, our newest
addition, has earned accreditation from the Agency for Public Health Education Accreditation (APHEA).
Abu Dhabi University was the first university to receive the Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award in 2010. It was awarded ‘Best
Supporting University for Entrepreneurship’ in the UAE and the Arab World during the 8th cycle of the Mohammed Bin Rashid
Award for Young Business Leaders for its support and patronage of entrepreneurship.
In recent years, ADU has been one of a select few universities in the UAE to enter the ranks of the world’s top 750 universities
in the 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 the continual
renewal of its 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 endeavor to ensure our programs align with market requirements
and the forecasted workforce needs as defined in the Government’s strategy. While we take pride in the fact that we offer an
American curriculum driven by best international practices, we remain passionately committed to the traditions and culture of
the UAE. This ensures that, while our students are prepared to compete in the global work environment, they remain in touch
with their national identity and cultural heritage. Our high employment rates are a testament to our successful philosophy,
and we are proud to have been pivotal to the success of our graduates.
Our great country is blessed with wise leadership. In their honor, Abu Dhabi University is actively mentoring the next
generation, participating in building human capital equipped with the skills needed to be successful leaders. As you take your
first steps toward your journey of discovery, 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, you

will gain the knowledge to
achieve and the wisdom to lead. Dr. Ali Saeed Bin Harmal AlDhaheri
Chairman of the Board of Directors

WELCOME FROM
THE CHANCELLOR
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 national development
that will transform the UAE into a knowledge-based economy.
Although a young institution, we now have around 8000 students enrolled in our expanding portfolio of undergraduate and
postgraduate programs, our alumni numbers have reached over 9000, and the employment rate of Abu Dhabi University
graduates remains impressive. To remain at the cutting edge, new programs and concentrations have been launched in
nutrition and dietetics, human genetics, laboratory medicine, robotics, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and biomedical
engineering.
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). 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. 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 evident in our prestigious accreditations, among these are the AACSB, EQUIS, ABET and
RIBA international accreditations. All of the University’s programs are internationally accredited by the Western Association
of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Abu Dhabi University is among the top three institutions in the UAE for international
accreditations. 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 recent years we have added a new building to expand our laboratory provision for engineering and
science, completed extensions to the student dormitories, and updated facilities at our Abu Dhabi campus; opened our Dubai
Campus, located in an iconic building in Dubai Knowledge Park; and launched the Al Dhafra facility. Our comprehensive,
new campus in Al Ain is now open. With state of the art teaching and research facilities, a comprehensive student centre and
impressive outdoor facilities, the campus will be a key resource for students, businesses and the local community.
Collaboration with academic, business and community partners strengthens our teaching, research and outreach. Our
teaching and research partners include Arizona State University, Rice University, Trinity College Dublin, Politecnico di Milano,
Monash University and the Queensland University of Technology, to name a few. We work with the region’s leading businesses,
including Etihad, Emirates Steel, ADNOC and ExxonMobil and collaborate with public sector organizations. And we are proud
of our engagement with the broader community; for example, our ‘Investing in our Community’ platform has provided free
workshops to over 8000 participants during the 2020-21 academic year.
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 Professor Waqar Ahmad FAcSS PhD BA

Chancellor, Abu Dhabi University
