Canadian University Dubai (CUD) opened its doors in 2006 to bring the world-class Canadian education system to the dynamic city of Dubai. As a pioneering initiative, CUD was created to make a meaningful and lasting contribution to UAE society.
Our Canadian roots:
CUD has its foundations in a partnership between Centennial College and Athabasca University; two Canadian institutions that set out to unite these distant lands through the shared vision of excellence in education. Building on these early foundations, University Chancellor, Mr. Buti Saeed Al Ghandi, and President, Prof. Karim Chelli came together to establish Canadian University Dubai.
