Abu Dhabi University

Abu Dhabi University (ADU) is one of the largest private universities in the United Arab Emirates. Founded in 2003, it operates campuses in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Dubai and hosts students from a very large number of nationalities. ADU offers a broad portfolio of undergraduate and graduate degrees in business administration, engineering, computing, law, health sciences, education and design, alongside an MBA and doctoral programmes. Its business and engineering programmes hold international accreditations. The university is regularly ranked among the world's best young institutions by Times Higher Education and QS. Generous merit scholarships, differentiated fees across campuses — the Al Ain campus costs roughly 20% less — and extensive industry partnerships support access and employability.
