DUCAB to fund scholarships for Masters programmes at The British University in Dubai

The announcement was made by Colin Paskins, Managing Director of DUCAB who said "DUCAB is delighted to be able to support students at The British University in Dubai. It shares our values of an unrelenting drive for excellence in the quality of its work, in both research and teaching. We are particularly pleased because The University was born from discussions at Dubai - UK Trade and Economic Committee, DUKTEC, and DUCAB's Chief Executive has been present at every meeting of that Group since it began."

The prestigious awards are the first scholarships to be offered for BUiD students. The announcement comes just after BUiD received accreditation eligibility status for all of its Masters programmes in Informatics, Project Management and Education from the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Commission for Academic Accreditation.

"The University is delighted that DUCAB has chosen to grant these scholarships which will give students an opportunity to study with us. BUiD values greatly the support that it receives from organisations in the Emirates and hopes that other companies will want to be associated with the University in this way," said David J. Lock, Registrar and Acting Chief Executive of BUiD.

The scholarships will be awarded to high achieving, well qualified students who might not otherwise be able to study a Masters programme. Students who apply for a Masters programme and receive an offer of place at BUiD will be eligible to apply for a DUCAB scholarship.
