Testimonials
“I wanted to study something that would help me help humanity.”
As a first year enrolled in the BSc Information Technology program, Sarah has only experienced a small part of what she knows ADU has to offer so far, but she’s looking forward to the ADU journey.
“ADU was my first choice because the IT program offered a lot more course choices than other universities I’d researched. I’m so happy with my decision to join ADU – all my instructors are amazing and are available to provide support pretty much round the clock.
There are so many extra-curricular activities to get involved in – so far, I’m on the ADU volleyball team and I’m planning on joining the debate team soon. I’m so excited to immerse myself fully in university life.”

Tuition fees structure & calculation
Tuition is based upon the College and/or Department classification as opposed to the course classification or level. Tuition rates for undergraduate students vary from the tuition rates for graduate students.
The tuition fee calculations are an example only and are based on the assumption that elective courses will be taken with the College that the student is taking their major with. However, if the student selects elective courses outside of this College, the total cost payable may increase or decrease to reflect the tuition rate of the College where the elective is delivered.
Costs of books and supplies are not included in the Tuition and Fees. Students at Abu Dhabi University are also required to pay certain fees and other costs to attend the University. Abu Dhabi University reserves the right to change tuition and fee rates at any time. A tuition schedule is published prior to registration for each semester.
