The University opened in September, 1998. Its mandate is to prepare National women for leadership roles in the future growth of the country. English is the medium of instruction. Deans for each of the above Colleges will provide leadership in maintaining high academic standards, curriculum development, strategic planning, faculty recruitment and development, and to foster cooperative relationships with groups and leaders off campus in areas related to the fields of study in their Colleges. The Deans have the responsibility to insure that, prior to graduation, all students in their Colleges are fluent in both English and Arabic, proficient in the use of computers, have well developed leadership skills, and are fully prepared in an academic discipline.
All students have laptop computers to facilitate a multimedia program outlining methodology.
The University expects to fill these positions for Deans to start in August 1999. Deans will be based in Dubai and will be responsible for their programs on both campuses.
