This achievement in the Year of Zayed shows the impact of the footsteps and initiatives of the Founding Father of the UAE. QS 5 Stars showcases and manifests the values which Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan believed in. It is not just a proud moment for United Arab Emirates University but also a significant achievement for the country.”
