Testimonials
My professors have made my experience exceptional.
"My professors have made my experience exceptional. The fact that they have come from world-class universities and are experts in their fields is, of course, a big part of this, but they also care about their students. They take the time to call us to follow up on assignments and they are patient enough to answer every single one of our questions, even the silly ones we thought of in the early days. And they know each of us by name.
Don’t get me wrong – they don’t go easy on us. They’re constantly challenging us to do better and good grades have to be earned. But they also make the learning fun and engaging. There’s no reading from boring PowerPoint presentations here."

Tuition fees structure & calculation
Tuition is based upon the College and/or Department classification as opposed to the course classification or level. Tuition rates for undergraduate students vary from the tuition rates for graduate students.
The tuition fee calculations are an example only and are based on the assumption that elective courses will be taken with the College that the student is taking their major with. However, if the student selects elective courses outside of this College, the total cost payable may increase or decrease to reflect the tuition rate of the College where the elective is delivered.
Costs of books and supplies are not included in the Tuition and Fees. Students at Abu Dhabi University are also required to pay certain fees and other costs to attend the University. Abu Dhabi University reserves the right to change tuition and fee rates at any time. A tuition schedule is published prior to registration for each semester.
