2019 - 2020
I am delighted to provide this introduction to Khalifa University’s Fact Book for 2019-2020. Khalifa University of Science and Technology (KU) was established in 2017 by Presidential Decree by merging together the three world-class universities of Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research (KUSTAR), The Petroleum Institute, and Masdar Institute of Science and Technology.
This Fact Book is the first one prepared to describe the activities of KU after the merger. Khalifa University’s research and academic activities now cover a broad range of disciplines in science, engineering, and medicine through its three colleges, three research institutes, 18 research centers, and 36 academic departments. Our distinguished faculty of national and international reputation, coupled with a strong tradition of collaboration and a deep commitment to fundamental science and use-inspired research, have enabled the University to achieve meaningful innovations in key areas of energy, water, aerospace, healthcare, aerospace, advanced materials, robotics and ICT.
In Academic Year 2019-20, a total of 14 undergraduate engineering degrees were offered, including four in the College of Arts and Sciences and ten in the College of Engineering. All eligible programs have
received ABET accreditation from the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC).
On the graduate level, 24 degree options were offered by the university in 2019-20, including one Master’s degree and five Doctorate degrees in the College of Arts and Sciences, and 15 Master’s degrees and two Doctorate degrees in the College of Engineering.
Additional engineering and science offerings planned for the upcoming academic year will further enhance our ability to provide KU students with a unique interdisciplinary environment in which students can tackle real-world challenges and a research culture that seeks truly deep impact through rigorous scholarship.
In this Fact Book, you will find information about student enrollment and demography, faculty, staff and facilities, and a sampling of the university’s research and teaching activities. I hope you find this collection of information to be informative, and to provide an accurate indication of our status at the close of this academic year.
