Mode of Study Options: It is expected that by September 2021, we will have In-person classes, and these could be supported by an online element. It is too early to commit to 100% online at present, as it will depend on the Health & Safety situation and KHDA permissions. We can say at present that if the Health & Safety situation warrants it, there could be 100% online, along with in-person classes.
Teaching
Classes are held at our Dubai Knowledge Park campus from Sunday to Thursday between 8:30 am and 6:30 pm. Additional sessions may be scheduled over the weekend or holiday periods, and you should expect to receive notice of these in advance.
You will be actively involved in a range of learning, teaching, and assessment approaches as part of your programme. These approaches ensure that you are involved and engaged by placing you at the centre of your own learning. You will be required to actively participate in learning activities and engagement with your fellow students, both individually and collaboratively. Faculty increasingly use existing and emerging technologies, and your programme will be facilitated using a variety of media and online tools (My Learning on UniHub, podcasts, wikis, etc.), which will allow you access to a diverse range of online resources and learning materials. By engaging in e-learning, you will also be developing skills which are essential for your learning and highly valued by employers.
