University of Bolton Offers a World Class Education in RAK The University of Bolton, Academic Centre Ras Al Khaimah, began academic operations in 2008 and since then has seen four batches of students graduating. The RAK Academic Centre offers programmes at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in a variety of disciplines, such as mechanical, civil, electrical and electronic engineering, business management, computing, accountancy, supply chain management and construction project management. All the programmes delivered at the Academic Centre are equivalent to those offered in Bolton, UK. They are assessed by the same examination boards and moderated by the same external examiners. All degree certificates are issued directly by the University of Bolton, UK, and these are identical to those offered to students at the parent campus. With 600 students on campus, Bolton’s student population represents more than 30 nationalities. In addition to providing the best value, the University’s Academic Centre develops the career skills of students by providing them with internships and placements. More than 60 companies provide Bolton students with the opportunity to enhance their learning by working on live projects in a real workplace setting. Students from RAK have also participated in study visits to the UK. Many Bolton students find gainful employment before they graduate due to the commitment of staff members, which is reinforced by feedback from satisfied students. Recent additions to the programmes portfolio have also included an MBA top-up, providing progression opportunities for students with Level 7 qualifications, graduate MBA for fresh graduates, which includes a comprehensive consultancy project, and Construction Project management, which provides students with the opportunity to attend classes over the weekend without leaving their employment.
