Research

Overview

The College of Science (COS) focuses a great deal of attention to scientific research. A number of research projects are carried out at individual and interdisciplinary levels. The results of these research activities are usually published in first-class international journals. Our faculties’ research activities are also published annually in the form of Research and Seminar abstract booklets. Since the College recognizes that teaching and research are mutually supportive, it also encourages student participation in research.

Capabilities

The College of Science is actively involved in many areas of research which are supported by several funding bodies within the UAE (federal and non-federal) and externally from abroad. The research strength of the COS is driven by an active interdisciplinary research collaboration with other Colleges and with external institutes locally and internationally; qualified motivated faculty with diverse fields of specialty having an excellent record of publishing in major international journals; new modern research laboratories with world-class infrastructure and equipment; and our increasing number of graduate programs.

The five departments at the COS maintain a strong research agenda that spans across several areas which are aligned with UAEU’s main research strategy and goals which include the development of water resources, petroleum resources, solar and other forms of renewable energy, medical developments, and the development of significant economic activities
