"Having always dreamt of being a member of AUD's student and alumni body, AUD became a place I called home starting in 2015. It is a place where I was able to learn and develop my skills from professors and experts within the university premises. At AUD, I was able to learn and grow, participate in extracurricular activities on local and international levels, and build lifelong relationships. At AUD, I was able to learn and implement theoretical concepts in real and practical situations, providing me with the best knowledge-base and experience any student wishes for. Thank you , AUD, for helping me achieve my dreams!"
“Reflecting on my time at AUD, which culminated in my graduation in 1999, I am filled with gratitude for the transformative experience it provided. The quality American education I received at AUD laid the foundation for my success. The opportunities for internships and work placements in multinational organizations, even before graduation, were instrumental in setting me on the right path. These experiences not only enriched my academic knowledge but also honed my practical skills, giving me a head start in my career. Today, as the CEO of my own real estate company managing portfolios worth billions of dirhams, a published best-selling author, and the star of an award-winning reality real estate TV show, I attribute a significant part of my success to the values and skills instilled in me during my time at AUD which continued to be a source of inspiration during my pursuit of master's and doctorate degrees. The bond with AUD is not just a fleeting connection but a lasting one that has shaped my identity and fueled my ongoing commitment to excellence.”
"AUD has profoundly shaped me; I encountered a transformative journey, evolving from an uncertain teenager to a focused individual with well-defined career and academic aspirations. AUD has been crucial in guiding me towards becoming a motivated professional, offering exceptional exposure during my time there and beyond."
"Honestly, I had the best years of my life. AUD shaped my personality and empowered me to express my truth. Being around hundreds of different nationalities made me appreciate all cultures and be able to expand my horizon. I'll never forget how supportive the professors were and how excited the projects were. AUD was like a home to me."
"I joined AUD in 2014 and it was the best decision I took by studying here. It's a place where students can grow in terms of critical thinking and decision making which helps you in the real world! You end up making the best of friends and some of the best memories!"
