Zayed University (ZU) will participate in education shows across the UAE throughout October as it launches its 2024 student recruitment initiatives. Students who want to join one of Zayed University’s programs will have the opportunity to meet with the admissions team during in-person events in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. The events will enable students to learn about the university’s innovative teaching methods and how it is preparing students to succeed in their future careers.
The launch of the recruitment initiatives follows Fall 2023’s record admissions for Zayed University’s new programs, with enrolment across the university more than doubling compared to Fall 2022. The Sustainability program reported a 140% rise in student numbers as interest in the environment continues to surge across the country with COP 28 fast approaching. The College of Arts and Creative Enterprises also reported a tripling of its intake when compared with Fall 2022.
Professor Michael Allen, Acting Vice-President of Zayed University and Provost, commented: “The demand for our degree programs illustrates that ZU’s commitment to excellence and innovation continues to grow across the UAE. Choosing your degree program is one of the most critical decisions a young person can make, and it is vitally important that students are as informed as they can be about the programs we offer and the opportunities we provide to work in industry. Between now and next Fall our admissions team will be all over the UAE meeting young people who are thinking about coming to ZU next year. There has never been a more exciting time to come to ZU and we are confident we will be welcoming another record cohort onto our new degree programs.”
