These achievements are yet another testament to the quality of higher education in the United Arab Emirates, which is a source of pride for us all, and a strong indicator that ADU is on the right track. Inspired by this achievement, we will continue our quest for excellence and global recognition with a renewed sense of responsibility and purpose.”
