The University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD) reports a record of students enrolling for its Summer semester courses, with a 35 percent increase since last year. The growth in demand for enrolments is a result of the University’s positioning as the highest ranked Australian University in Dubai and one of the top four internationally ranked universities in the UAE.
This year, the prestigious university also saw the Bachelor’s programmes rise in enrolment by 22 percent, with the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Computer Science being the most popular programmes amongst students. Whilst the intake for Summer semester was highly successful, strong interest is being shown in the upcoming Autumn intake. The University will also be launching several new programmes this Autumn and will be announcing further details later this year.
Professor Mohamed Salem, President of the University of Wollongong in Dubai, commented, “The recently increased global rankings of the University and the demonstrated quality of education have played a pivotal role in the Summer enrolment success”.
The Master of Educational Studies, Master of Nursing, Master of Business in Innovation & Entrepreneurship and the Master of Engineering Management are some of the most popular courses among the postgraduate students this year. The University’s flagship Master of Business Administration also attracted a strong interest.
