Zayed University

Mission

Zayed University is a national and regional leader of educational innovation. Founded in 1998 and proudly bearing the name of the Founder of the Nation, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, this flagship institution is the modern embodiment of the Founding Father’s ambitions for higher education in the United Arab Emirates. Today, Zayed University is notable for encompassing two modern campuses in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai that welcome national and international students from within the UAE, the wider Gulf region and across the globe. Zayed University is accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA)—the internal quality assurance and accreditation body of the UAE—and internationally by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (USA), one of six regional accreditation bodies in the USA which assures internationally recognized programs from a quality-assured university.
