Overview of the University
University of AlDhaid was established in 2024 through a royal decree issued by His Highness Sheikh Dr.
Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, a member of the Supreme Council, ruler of the Emirate of Sharjah, and
president of the university. The university is a non-profit educational institution that strives to
utilize the latest educational methods and scientific research to serve the community.
Following his directives, the Sharjah University branch in Dhaid was transformed into an independent
university under the name 'Dhaid University.' This decision represents a turning point in the
educational trajectory of Dhaid, aiming to fulfill the aspirations and ambitions of the sons and
daughters of our beloved nation.
Since its establishment, the university has received substantial support and generosity from His
Highness, providing opportunities for growth and development. The university began by establishing the
College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Agriculture and then developed new programs to meet
the growing needs of the region in the future, in addition to providing a range of undergraduate and
graduate programs that are accredited and of high quality, keeping pace with the changing times. The
programs vary among the College of Arts, Information Technology, Law, Business School, and
Communication.

administrative and teaching staff, to expand its programs to meet the community's growing needs in the
future. The university will particularly focus on specializations in agriculture and veterinary
medicine. Moreover, Dhaid University provides all the advanced facilities to serve its enrolled students
