Message from the Dean

Education for Future Leaders

Choosing the right university for your graduate studies can give you a competitive advantage in today’s global environment. Zayed University has a well deserved reputation for academic excellence in the Gulf Arab States since 1998 and is recognized as one of the U.A.E.’s leading centers for senior management education.

Zayed University launched the Executive Masters in Public Administration (EMPA) program in 2007 and since then, two cohorts of students have successfully graduated. The EMPA program, that is approved by the U.A.E. Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, is designed for executives who wish to develop their senior leadership skills and further their careers and personal development. The curriculum seeks to enhance students’ knowledge and capabilities to drive improved public sector performance at both local and international levels. A further unique feature of the EMPA program is that it offers an option in Police Studies for students wishing to specialize in the area of police administration.

Classes are taught exclusively in English by selected faculty members from Zayed University and the two partner universities. Outstanding faculty and a strong focus on team leadership provide a unique and challenging academic experience for students. Faculty utilize an innovative mix of on-site and off-site delivery systems to best fit the professional and personal schedules of each participant.

If you seek a highly rewarding, stimulating and internationally recognized masters program in either police or public administration, then we invite you to study at Zayed University.
