The General Education programme currently offers options in English/Research Methods (HUM040), Islamic Studies and UAE Studies, following the last revision made to the General Education by the Ministry of Education in 2019. The UAE Studies category of the General Education follows a broad interdisciplinary approach to topics that are of strategic interest to the UAE. Thus, for example, there are modules on the environment, international relations, urban sociology and public health: IRAE135 International Relations and the UAE URBS103 Urban Sociology (soon to be revamped as Cities of the Middle East) (a subject using traditional sociological concepts examined against a range of Middle Eastern cities) HUM040 Literacy in a Digital Age: Global Themes Edition (essentially a research methods class for foundation students) HUM030 The Art of Understanding: Culture, Communication & Creativity (a culture studies subject) The purpose of these modules is to instruct students in some of the most pressing issues facing the global community today, anchored in a Middle East studies perspective, opening up comparative approaches to the UAE’s development agenda, while developing students’ soft skills. The General Education programme is primarily concerned with instilling in students critical thinking skills and enhancing their empathy, emotional intelligence and communication skills. If you are trained in the Humanities and Social Sciences (History, Politics, Middle East Studies, Languages, English, Sociology, Anthropology), we would be interested in your candidature.
