Testimonials
“I enjoy challenging my students to look at things in a different way.”
"Although a young university, ADU is very forward thinking. I’ve enjoyed contributing to the redevelopment of the program, making it relevant to budding pilots and non-flyers alike.
I enjoy challenging my students to look at things in a different way. Coming from a very individualistic environment, I’ve been taught to succeed on my own merit so I encourage my students to move away from the group mentality. At the same time, I like to think I make learning fun – I’m not rigid in my teaching and my door is always open."

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.
