Application Process – Emirati Students
Zayed University is on a journey of academic transition that has and will continue to, place itself at the forefront of future thinking. We do not educate students in traditional, linear forms of thinking and doing, ZU students are agile, creative problem-solvers who have not just the theoretical knowledge, but the know-how and practical ability to apply them in the real world.
We do not teach in the traditional mode, we do not assess and grade in the traditional mode, we do not give students hands-on experiences in the traditional way; we educate students to be equipped, not just for tomorrow, but for the future tomorrow brings with it.
End-of-semester examinations are a thing of the past; global research shows that Industry leaders continually highlight that it does not produce employees who are ready to succeed in the real world.
How can you get started on your path to being future-ready?
