Application Process - International 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 that 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 that are ready to succeed in the real-world.
