Certificate in Middle East Studies
The Middle Eastern Studies Certificate Program offers students the opportunity to study the history, culture, religion, and politics of the Middle East while pursuing a baccalaureate degree of their choice. Students who, following graduation, seek employment within the Middle East will gain a deeper understanding of the region’s history, values, and customs, which will serve them well, regardless of the profession they choose. Similarly, Study Abroad students benefit from the structured study of the Middle East as a means of complementing the experiential knowledge they gain while living in Dubai.
The Certificate program enhances the value of an undergraduate degree by immersing students in the unique cultural and historical contributions, as well as in the contemporary development, of one of the world’s most dynamic regions.
To qualify for admission to the Certificate in Middle Eastern Studies program, students must:
Be in good academic standing at AUD or their primary university of study
Be pursuing or having pursued or earned a bachelor’s degree at an institution accredited by the MOE in the UAE, or by the relevant national or regional institutional accrediting body in the case of international applicants
Have successfully completed ENGL 102 (Advanced Composition and Research), or its equivalent for students coming from institutions in which English is the language of instruction
Satisfy the English-language requirements for students coming from institutions in which English is not the language of instruction
Satisfy all other requirements for admission to AUD
English Language Requirements: Official TOEFL® / Academic IELTSTM test scores
IAA Certificate in Marketing Communications
This is an internationally recognized Certificate which reflects that the student’s undergraduate program meets IAA requirements. Several current and past practitioners teach in AUD’s program, ensuring that curricula remain up-to date and that students have ample contact with the marketing communications industry prior to graduation.
Pursuance of the Certificate is also open to working professionals who must complete the required Major/other courses and (in the case of business students) pass the comprehensive exam. Courses taken at another university may count towards the Certificate.
