About The University
In 2006, a piece of 13th century France settled in Abu Dhabi. None other than the prestigious Paris-Sorbonne University opened its doors in the UAE capital, bringing together two civilizations on the new Paris-Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi (PSUAD) campus. For centuries, this prestigious centre of learning has produced some of the world’s greatest thinkers. With a new focus on a dialogue of civilizations between the West and the Arab World and a diverse range of courses, PSUAD continues this tradition of erudition.
Paris-Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi is a French-speaking higher education institution that attracts not only the best students from the UAE, but also the best students from all over the Middle East and the world. Even if you have no experience with the French language, we can get you ready for the university curriculum. The intensive French program can last from one semester to an entire year- whatever you need, we will provide!
