About the Mohammed Bin Rashid School for Communication
Launched in 2008, the Mohammed Bin Rashid School for Communication (MBRSC) was established to bridge the gap undermining the Arab media sector, by educating students to become journalists with an outstanding command of the Arabic language. A memorandum of understanding was signed in early 2009 between AUD and the USC Annenberg School for Communication to institute a partnership which includes consultation on curriculum reviews, exchange of faculty and students etc.

The School's distinction also lies in the special directives given by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to the Administration of the University to confer scholarships on 75% of the distinguished students who meet the admissions requirements of the School.
