ADU: Your New Home
The founders of Abu Dhabi University envisioned an institution that would be among the best in the UAE, the Arabian Gulf region and throughout the world.
Therefore, ADU education programs encompass a variety of different cultures and structures to mirror the past and present of Arabian society, but at the same time, they reflect the future needs of the world as ADU offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees based upon the American model of higher education. In addition, several professional diploma and postgraduate diploma programs utilizing the British system of post-secondary education are available.
