About United Arab Emirates University

The United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) was founded in 1976 by the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. It aspires to become a comprehensive, research-intensive university and strives to preserve national heritage while pursuing innovate solutions and promoting academic excellence.

UAEU is located in in Al Ain, also known as the city of the Oasis. It’s situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia. The city of Al Ain is an old city, central to the cultural heritage of the UAE, and the second largest city in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It's around 150km inland from the capital city of Abu Dhabi and the popular tourist destination of Dubai.

The city is a popular tourist destination itself with first-class hotels, a golf resort, shopping malls, a wildlife park, a water adventure park and the recently-opened Hazza Bin Zayed football stadium. The city centre also features the Al Ain Oasis, and other oases dotted around the area, which offer cool retreats in the middle of the summer heat. One of Al Ain’s main attractions is Jebel Hafeet, a 1,340m mountain, with mineral springs at its base and stunning drive mountaintop views at sunset.

Islam is the official religion of the UAE, and Arabic is the official language. English is widely spoken and most road and shop signs and restaurant menus are in both languages. The weather consists of almost year-round sunshine, with temperatures ranging from a low of around 13°C (50°F) on a winter’s night, to a high of around 42°C (118°F) on a summer’s day. The cooler months of November to April have temperatures of around 24°C (75°F) during the day and 13°C (56°F) at night.

UAEU aims to continue its positive contribution to the advancement of the UAE by delivering undergraduate and graduate education that meets international standards, engaging effectively with the community and the world to foster knowledge creation and dissemination, and enhance the research capacity of the country.
