HH Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to The British University in Dubai.
The University has been formed out of a genuine collaboration between Dubai and United Kingdom institutions to provide the best of British education in Dubai. BUiD has been established to make a substantial and unique contribution to the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf region.
Our UK associates, the Universities of Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester and King’s College London have been chosen because of their research standing and high standards. I am pleased that they continue to work closely with BUiD to ensure that you are offered high quality education which benefit from that research.
It is pleasing that worldwide interest has been shown in academic posts at the University and that our British partners have been able to ensure strict criteria in selecting the best. All the University’s programmes have been awarded accreditation by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of the United Arab Emirates and I am grateful to His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan bin Mabarak al Nahayan for the kind attention he and his Commissioners have given to the BUiD programmes.
The University is also grateful to its founders the Al Maktoum Foundation, Rolls-Royce, the National Bank of Dubai, the British Business Group, and the Dubai Development and Investment Authority; its contributors, The Emirates Group, DUCAB, Atkins, Hyder Consulting, Emirates Foundation and Dubai Duty Free; the Dubai & UK Trade & Economic Committee and the members of the University Council, Advisory Groups, and Senate; and its Vice-Chancellor, Registrar and staff for the role they have played in managing the University and providing a top quality higher education experience for our students.
