The dream began with the Charter of Abu Dhabi University in the year 2000,
by his Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al
Nahyan and other distinguished citizens of the United Arab Emirates.
After three years of planning, the university opened its doors in
September 2003, to 1,000 students in its two campuses in Abu Dhabi and
Al Ain. Before enrolling students, Abu Dhabi University has taken all
necessary procedures to secure accreditation for all its degree programs
from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
