Student Testimonials
Fajr Alkouz,
PhD, Language and Literacy Education
My experience at UAEU has been both eye opening and enriching. Specializing in language
and literacy studies at the university has allowed me to rethink the definition of
literacy as well as reflect on my pedagogical thoughts and practices. I will forever
be grateful to be part of a research-driven community that always attempts to address
global and regional present-day educational matters.
Adnan Alhashimi,
BA, Health & Physical Education
Majoring in Health and Physical Education was one of the best decisions I have ever
made. The department has leading experts in different fields, such as biomechanics
and exercise physiology, which are very important for me as a future teacher. I will
need to know how to influence others and teach them about the beauty of movement and
the importance of healthy lifestyle choices for a longer life.
Hanan Kazim,
BA, Early Childhood Education
"I chose the College of Education (CEDU) in order to meet my future goals. With every
passing year, I discover new reasons why that choice was the right one. The college
provides many opportunities for students to learn and improve such as conferences,
lectures and competitions. Additionally, the CEDU offers two education units: SDU
and FTU, which help students with their tasks, assignments and research. I am very
grateful to the faculty advisors at the College of Education, they are always there
to guide you and are always willing to listen”

Master of Educational Innovation - Innovation in School Leadership Concentration
During the Master of Educational Innovation Program, we meet several educators and
make better connections with other students. The greatest thing to us is that the
program includes different courses with a considerable amount of valuable information.
In addition, we are surrounded by professors and other master’s students who are highly
motivated to achieve the goals of the program.
Amna Mohammed Al Suwaidi
Master of Educational Innovation- Innovation in School Leadership Concentration
I considered my admission to this program as a pioneering step in changing my attitude
and thoughts about education, school leadership, research, and the various studies
that we discussed during this period. One of the most prominent aspects that influenced
me was learning from research studies in journals. This knowledge opened my mind about
educational and leadership topics and gave me the idea of researching graduation as
characterized by innovation in the administrative system, in accordance with the directions
of the Ministry of Education.
