When I came to Canadian University Dubai I was awarded a sports scholarship and I enjoy the challenge of combining academic life with my participation in the university basketball team. I chose to study network engineering because I wanted to learn the advanced technical skills to help me develop as a tech-entrepreneur.

The teaching faculty have a high level of expertise and create a stimulating and supportive learning environment. Throughout the program we have had the opportunity to develop our practical networking skills, with access to all the relevant software.
