The University Council confirmed the name change of the degree of “Bachelor of Arts” offered by the College of Arts and Creative Enterprises’ Art and Design major, to “Bachelor of Fine Arts”.  This name change will enable students to further engage in their field of study and consequently their field of work.

Last but not least, the council approved granting diplomas to 900 Zayed University students who graduated in the first and second semesters of the academic year 2012-2013.
