The British University in Dubai (BUiD) is launching three new undergraduate engineering programmes: BSc in Mechanical Engineering, BSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and BSc in Civil Engineering, set to commence in the 2025–2026 academic year. These programmes aim to equip the next generation of engineers with the essential skills, knowledge, and practical experience needed to succeed in an ever-evolving technological landscape. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, the programmes are aligned with the UAE’s national priorities and the global move toward smart infrastructure and green technologies.

Prof. Bassam Abu-Hijleh, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and IT said: “We are very proud to launch these new engineering programmes. These programmes, in addition to our existing Electro- Mechanical Engineering programme, will empower our students to become tomorrow’s innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders. By combining strong technical foundations with real-world experience, we are preparing graduates to drive progress in energy, infrastructure, and technology to help build a smarter, more sustainable future for all.”

These programmes will provide students with a strong academic foundation, enhanced by hands-on projects, practical labs, and industry-relevant training. From designing smart systems and harnessing clean energy to developing safer, more resilient cities, students will gain the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to address real-world challenges. These programmes aim to nurture well-rounded, forward-thinking engineers who are ready to lead in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

With the introduction of these new engineering degrees, BUiD shows its commitment to academic excellence and high-quality education. By fostering innovation, sustainability, and collaboration, BUiD aims to graduate skilled professionals who will make meaningful contributions to economic development and sustainable progress across various industries in the UAE and beyond.
