The program provides UAE nationals with a full scholarship to enrol in some of the world’s finest universities in the UAE, USA and Korea where they will gain invaluable exposure to the finest minds and technologies in the engineering sector.

The Bachelors Program offers students the opportunity to study across various disciplines including Nuclear, Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering, as well as Physics, whereas the Masters Program is focussed specifically on Nuclear Engineering.
