Testimonials
“My journey at ADU is a truly memorable one.”
With hard work, Abid was able to complete his program in three years and graduated in the first cohort of students from the BSc Mechanical Engineering program in 2014.
“Although there were a few good options for studying Mechanical Engineering, I chose ADU not only because of the quality of its program but also because the admissions process was so streamlined.
My journey at ADU is a truly memorable one and the quality of education is something spectacular. The faculty are all highly qualified with experience from prestigious international universities and the laboratory facilities are some of the best in the UAE.
I’m now studying for my Master’s and hope to go on to complete my PhD to achieve my ambition to become a professor.”

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.
