“Challenging my students is what I do best.”
"I love the diversity within the ADU campuses. The experience of working in such a cross-cultural environment is both challenging (in a positive way) and rewarding. I’m based in the Al Ain campus and I find that the open-door policy adopted by faculty adds to this wonderful atmosphere.
Challenging my students is what I do best. I encourage them to keep an open mind and question whatever I tell them. Human Resource Management is all about people – and there are so many variables when dealing with people. This is why I instill in my students the importance of questioning their own perceptions."

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.
