Overview

I have now studied at the American College of Dubai for one year. I first enrolled in the English Language Program to improve my language skills in writing, reading, speaking and vocabulary. I found the professors to be extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the English language, as they are all native English speakers. Classes were small with individual attention given to each student. The faculty made the classroom a fun learning environment and it was fun learning with students from all over the world!

After passing the final two levels of the English Language Program I enrolled in the University Foundation Program. This program has allowed me to further improve on my English skills and also improve in Math. After completing the Foundation Program I will enroll in the American College of Dubai as a fulltime student this fall and start classes in their Bachelors of Business Administration Program.

The American College of Dubai has been a positive experience for me. The faculty and staff really do care about each and every student and their overall academic success.

To qualify for admission at ACD, an applicant must hold a UAE Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent covering 12 years of education or a terminal secondary education completion certificate that qualifies the applicant to enroll in an institution of higher education in the country of origin where the certificate was issued, as determined by the authorities of that country.

All students applying for admission must submit a TOEFL score of at least 500 (173 - computer based system).
