The L'Université Francaise de Dubai (UFD) is expected to be a continuation of the success story that began with CUD. It will have an innovative and flexible approach to education with a strong focus on finance and entrepreneurship.

The specialized programs it will offer in the field of business development will relate to those highly acclaimed programs which are offered at Université Lumière Lyon 2 of France, with modifications to accommodate regional needs combined with French values.

The advantages of developing these proven, and highly sought-after programs to perfectly fit the needs of this region, will be manifest.

Acknowledged as one of the top universities in France, Université Lumière Lyon 2 is known for its research in the fields of Arts and Languages, Social Sciences and Humanities, Economics, Political Sciences and Law, as well as for its innovativeness and excellence in the quality of courses provided in the areas of entrepreneurship and finance.

Commenting on this new venture, Mr Buti Saeed Al Ghandi, Chairman of Emivest and University Chairman of the CUD Board of Trustees, said:“This new venture is a great step forward for Dubai Education, and will continue the tradition initiated by Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, of investing in the United Arab Emirates and the Arab world by bringing Dubai the best that education has to offer.

It will provide a fantastic opportunity for students to experience innovative programs which incorporate French culture and values but are also tailored to the needs of individuals and businesses in Dubai, the Gulf region, and the Middle East generally. L'Université Francaise de Dubai (UFD), will add an extra dimension to higher education in Dubai.”
