AUD offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees and a Certificate in Middle Eastern Studies.

In addition to courses in their chosen program/major, undergraduate students in all disciplines must follow a curriculum in Arts and Sciences. This is in fulfillment of the general education portion of their degree requirements.

Through its Center for English Proficiency (CfEP), the university also conducts Intensive English programs designed to develop university-level English language skills in students requiring additional language study before commencing university.

AUD’s multi-complex facility has been conceived with the objective of supporting the university’s programs (both academic and extra-curricular) to an American standard. The campus surroundings include Dubai Internet City and Media City.
