Dual Education Program United Arab Emirates University

Overview

It is expected that the dual degree arrangement between EdUHK and UAEU will effectively pool the expertise of two universities together and add value to the existing MEd program. Moreover, this provides opportunities for students to be exposed to different intellectual and cultural environments, and will have the opportunity to be under a joint supervision team comprising of academics from both universities.

Students in this collaborative program in Dual Education Program from United Arab Emirates University will have to take a certain number of taught courses in their home institution as required by courses. The methods of learning and teaching will follow the existing practice of EdUHK and UAEU respectively.

Apart from taking courses at their home institution, students will have to take taught courses at the partner institution. The courses will not only help students to develop their subject-specific knowledge and transferable soft skills, but also widen their global perspectives by exposing themselves to a different learning environment. Moreover, through spending a brief period at partner institution, students will have opportunities to access the academic facilities, latest research tools, technologies, and resources of the partner institution and meet with postgraduate students and academics of different cultural backgrounds.

Career Opportunities

Upon completion of this collaborative program, students will be able to achieve the intended learning outcomes of both the EdUHK and the UAEU MEd programs. In addition, the learning experience in this collaborative program will contribute to our MEd students’ development and enhance their competitive edge. Participating in the program will extend their network through contact with academics and professionals at postgraduate level and thus effectively enhance their employability.
