Student Testimonials
Mohamed Hasan Al Aydroos, Bachelor of Law
I spent a great time in the College of Law at UAEU, where I learned the basic principles
of law and how to apply these principles in both the local and federal judiciary.
The College of Law improved my skills and research abilities by encouraging me to
participate in events and competitions whether at the university or on a regional
level. I am grateful to my professors for their constant encouragement and support.
Mohammed Saleh Al Shezawi, Bachelor of Law
I have genuinely enjoyed my experience at the UAEU College of Law. I am most grateful
for the chance to improve my skills, knowledge, confidence and motivation. I also
developed an interest in causes of public interest. The College of Law attracted me
because of its emphasis on practical experience. My undergraduate studies stressed
the significance of practical experience. The College of Law encourages students to
develop their skills through real life public work. Along with its supportive and
collegial atmosphere, this is what drew me to the college.
