DUBAI Investments PJSC, the leading, diversified investment company listed on the Dubai Financial Market, has announced that its subsidiary MODUL University Dubai’s 360-degree higher education programs are not only setting unprecedented benchmarks in excellence but also bridging the skill-set gap between academics and industry.

MODUL University has carved a niche with its higher education degrees across sectors — ranging from business, tourism, hospitality, sustainability, public governance, new media technologies, entrepreneurship and innovation to leadership. All courses are adapted to Middle East market, with an international perspective and 110+ years’ legacy of Austrian education & research associated with MODUL University.

As part of its commitment to take this world-class education across the UAE and beyond, MODUL University Dubai is participating in 14th International Education Show at Expo Center Sharjah from Jan. 24 -26.

To make it rewarding for students, the University is also offering savings up to AED40,000 for the September 2018 intake and AED30,000 for the February 2018 intake by way of study grants, guaranteed paid internships and other privileges.
