Zayed University is a great university for the two great cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The university, which proudly bears the name of the Founding President of the United Arab Emirates, has a mission as bold and imaginative as the vision Sheikh Zayed had for the Country and its people. Sheikh Zayed, may God bestow his eternal blessings on him, dedicated his life to making the United Arab Emirates a country of progress, prosperity, and stability.

Zayed University students receive an education of the highest quality – an education that prepares graduates to fill leadership positions in government, in private business, and in their community.

Drawing strength from the country’s heritage, Zayed University has earned the respect and appreciation of the leaders and citizens of the United Arab Emirates. We are proud of the University’s remarkable success in giving the country outstanding young people whose intellectual skills, bi-lingual capabilities, understanding of technology, and work ethic equip them for a productive lifetime as members of the modern global society.

Zayed University owes its success to the support of the leaders of our nation. We offer our thanks and gratitude to His Highness, the President, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahayan. We appreciate his wise leadership and thank him for his strong support of Zayed University. We also offer our thanks and gratitude to the Vice-President and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum and to His Highness Sheikh Mohammmed bin Zayed Al-Nahayan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces – both of whom have been strong supporters of Zayed University and have given clear leadership in developing the vision for its development and growth. We assure all our leaders and all members of our nation that Zayed University will always be the embodiment of their aspirations for an excellent national institution of higher education.
