Message from the Chairperson
Dear Esteemed Zayed University Community,
Every great university has its story, often one where a vision lies at the foundation of all its achievements and ambitions. This is the tale of Zayed University, a narrative that began in 1998, emerging from the dreams and aspirations of our founding father Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan for the Emirati youth. A dream that stretched beyond the walls of classrooms or the pages of textbooks. His Highness envisioned a future where academic excellence was just the beginning - A foundation for cultivating leaders deeply rooted in Emirati culture and heritage values, yet with their eyes set on the distant horizons of the global stage.
Twenty-five years and 30,000 students later, this university stands as proof of His Highness’s vision, and our Emirati youth’s capability to honor and proudly carry such a powerful legacy. Our campus is a hub for young scholars, faculty, and staff, each bringing their unique narrative of exploration, deep-seated curiosity, the unwavering journey towards growth, and a kind of leadership that doesn’t just govern but is full of passion and vision.
Along the path of the university's ongoing efforts, developments, and the progress it has made over time - we have encountered challenges, and each has served as a pivotal moment for growth, teaching us resilience and adaptability. These challenges have become our lessons in building our future leaders, sparking transformative ideas, and extending our academic influence globally. In embracing this, we are not just walking a path but actively shaping one that stands as a model for educational excellence and shows our dedication to shaping the future of education.
Today, we are committed to our mission of cultivating adept individuals, pioneers of progress, and ambassadors of our nation's core values. We strive to create an environment fueled by a passion for knowledge and innovation, driven by continuous self-development and prepared to confront future challenges.
Each student, faculty member, and achievement is a continuation of this story, a chapter in the foundational book of a vision His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan brought to life. This narrative is enriched by the collective effort of our entire community – students, faculty, staff, alumni, partners, and supporters – each continues to unfold. With every graduate, a new lead character emerges, ready to play an integral role in the evolving story of Zayed University and the Emirates.
With heartfelt thanks and a hopeful vision for the future,
