The British University in Dubai Signs an MoU With the Hashemite University, Jordan

The British University in Dubai (BUiD) has agreed a memorandum of understanding with the Hashemite University (HU), Jordan. The MoU was signed by Professor Abdullah Alshamsi, Vice Chancellor of BUiD, and Professor Fawwaz Al-Abed Al-Haq, President of The Hashemite University, at BUiD’s campus in the presence of senior staff from both institutions. The MoU will develop academic and cultural collaboration in areas of education and research.

Professor Abdullah Alshamsi said, “We are very pleased to collaborate with The Hashemite University, a prominent academic institution in Jordan. This MoU is a good example of partnerships between like-minded universities and we are looking forward to a long-term collaboration.”

The MoU aims to encourage students and academic exchange, developing new programmes and working on joint research and publications. In addition, the two universities agreed to organise joint seminars and conferences.

Professor Fawwaz Al-Abed Al-Haq said, “Our aim at HU is excellence in university teaching and scientific research. Signing an MoU with a research-based university such as BUiD is a great opportunity for our students and staff.”

The two universities are committed to serve market needs by educating high-calibre graduates who have the necessary knowledge and skills to make a difference in society.

BUiD is the UAE’s leading research-based university. The high standards of original knowledge and skills achieved by its Masters and PhD students are now widely recognised, and the relevance of their work is greatly valued. The University grew out of collaborations between British and Dubai academic, government and commercial organisations to make a unique contribution to the UAE and the Gulf region.

HU is committed to participating actively in the goals of comprehensive national development. This is achieved through preparing men and women who are not only technically competent in their professional fields, but also life-long learners with a breadth of knowledge, loyalty to their nation, a sense of civic and moral responsibility and a devotion to the fundamental values of human life.
