History
In 1998, Zayed University was founded by the federal government of the United Arab Emirates.[2] The university only accepted women UAE nationals until 2008, after the opening of its Sweihan campus in collaboration with the UAE Armed Forces.[6]
The university is currently engaged in cooperative relationships with a number of institutions throughout the world, such as the Al-Maktoum College of Higher Education in Scotland, the Australian National University, School of Business Management and Organization of the Foundation Antonio Genovesi Salerno in Italy, the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Spain, and Waseda University in Japan.[7]
In 2018, the university was featured for the first time in the QS World Rankings at 701–750.[8] Zayed University was ranked 20 out of 180 in the 2022 QS World University Arab Rankings.[9]
Accreditation
In 2008, Zayed University announced that it had received accreditation from the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.[12] Zayed University announced it had received re-accreditation in 2013.[13]
Through the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation Continuous Improvement Commission (CAEP),[14] in 2013[verification needed], the College of Education received accreditation from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education for its B.S. Communication and Media Sciences.[15]
On 12 July 2023, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education requested a supplemental information report to confirm that ZU completed its annual self-study evaluation. The Commission rejected the supplemental information report for failure to provide the requested information on 31 October 2023 and requested a further report. On 16 November 2023, ZU was notified that it must show cause as to why it should not have its accreditation withdrawn for incompliance with the standards of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education by 1 March 2024. Zayed University is not currently in compliance with these requests.[16]

Library
Zayed University has two libraries.[24]
The UAE Film Library and Archive[25]
Established in 2013,[26] The Film and Library Archive at Zayed University is the first of its kind in the region.[27] The collection will act as a repository for the UAE film industry, preserve works by Emirati filmmakers and include films produced about the UAE. The collection also includes materials associated with filmmaking including posters, scripts, artwork, production stills, and press kits.[28]
Archives and Records Management[29]
The University Archives serves as the official repository for university records that are deemed to have “historical, administrative, academic legal, and/or fiscal value.”[29]
Zayed University Learning Commons[30]
The Zayed University Learning Commons collaborates with colleges to provide support in academic writing, language, mathematics, and study skills.[30]
In 2011, the newly constructed Abu Dhabi Campus library was inaugurated housing 150,000 books from the collection. At 40,000 sqm, the library is one of the largest in the Middle East.[31]
Research
Zayed University supports faculty and student research through research training programs, fellowships and grants.[32] In 2014, the university invested 4,687,269 AED in internal research funds.[32]
Grants and fellowships
- Research Incentive Funds (RIF)[33]
This grant funds faculty research over a period of one to two years and was designed to support and enhance the research culture at Zayed University.[33] Researchers receive grants that range from a maximum of 30,000AED for individual one year projects to a maximum of 150,000AED for team grants.[33]
- Research Clusters[34]
A new initiative was established in 2016 to encourage cross-discipline collaboration among faculty.[34] A maximum of 50,000AED per project is allocated.[34]

Undergraduate research
The Undergraduate Research Scholars Program was launched in 2010 to encourage and support undergraduate student research.[64] The program provides students with faculty mentorship, workshops and lectures over a two and a half year period[47] during the course of their studies. Students are expected to produce original research that is submitted to international academic journals at the end of the program.[47]
Abu Dhabi campus
In 2009,[65] Zayed University announced plans for the construction of a new campus in Abu Dhabi[66] to meet the needs of a growing student population in the capital city.[67] The campus was designed by German architect, Hadi Teherani, and was inspired by the desert environment in which it would be constructed.[65] The campus was completed and operational in 2011. The new campus is located in Zayed City in Abu Dhabi and covers an area of 77 Hectares with a total built up area of 188,500sqm.[68]
Dubai campus
The Zayed University Dubai campus moved to its current location in Al Ruwayyah, near Academic City, Dubai back in 2006. The original campus was near the northern end of the Abu Dhabi peninsula, on Delma Street.[69]
In November 2018, The Zayed University Food Court, situated in Academic City, Dubai, was designed and built.[70]
Academic performance
Management Office
In December 2010, the Federal National Council queried the competency of the university's senior management. According to The National, Zayed University was reported to owe over Dh33 million in unpaid water and electricity bills.[71]
According to The National, three people held the position of provost between April and June 2011, with a total of seven provosts between 1998 and 2011.[72]
In 2012, the effectiveness of its teacher education program was questioned. According to The National, none of the 110 teachers it produced between 2010 and 2012 were employed by the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC); ADEC allegedly claimed the university produced lazy and poorly skilled graduates.[73]
Following Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Maitha Al Shamsi was instated as president in 2013.[74] Al Shamsi was followed by Lubna Khalid Al Qasimi, who was appointed president in 2014.[75] In July 2023, Shamma Al Mazrui, the UAE's Minister of Community Development, was appointed as the new chair of the board of trustees.[76][77] As well as existing concerns over academic integrity, transparency, and plagiarism at Zayed University, concerns have been raised about the weak academic credentials and lack of international experience among the new management.[78]
Legal concerns
The professor, Matt J. Duffy, expressed concern that his activities—which included writing for Gulf News, launching a student chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, and teaching objectively about the U.A.E.'s media laws—-may have led to his dismissal.[79] Despite claiming to follow Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in its MSCHE Self-Study ("Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers"), the university would not comment on the case in public.[80]
Materials deemed to be offensive are removed from the University Library, or are deposited in a locked holding space called Special Collections. Students must obtain faculty approval in order to access these materials, which include books on nursing, art magazines, human sexuality, and books containing views critical of religion.[81] Librarians at Zayed University must consider censorship and culturally appropriate attitudes toward access and authority when teaching information literacy.[82]
