Testimonials
This past year, I completed the Postgraduate Professional Diploma in Education at Abu Dhabi University. The program provided me with the skills and knowledge to teach in both public and private schools in the UAE. The course places a huge emphasis on the practical skills required to teach effectively, such as lesson planning, classroom management strategies, and tailoring lessons based on different learning styles, to name but a few. It was an invaluable experience for me, and I have since been able to apply the aforementioned skills in my job as a Kindergarten teacher.
At ADU, I was very fortunate to have a team of dedicated and supportive professors around me who encouraged me each step of the way. They openly shared their past experiences to help guide their students towards becoming successful and thoughtful educators. Even during the pandemic, they quickly adapted to a new model of teaching and presenting lessons, with student participation and discussion at its core. It was a learning curve for all involved, but their commitment was impressive, and is the main reason I look back on my time at ADU so favorably.

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.
