New collaborations with other universities for the study abroad program were formed and our recruitment activities are increasing. The Internship & Career Development Center has been kept busy in the fall semester implementing these initiatives which have all turned out to be successful endeavors. In addition, the University of Dubai (UD) launched its Student Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club, which was established by the Universityís Center for Research and Consultancy with an objective to provide information, mentoring, and networking opportunities to students and alumni to nurture start ups and ideas to enhance their employment. So, a door is opened for you to turn your innovative idea into real project and make your business dream come true right here at UD while you are still studying.
