With a forward-thinking approach and a vision for the future, the institution actively seeks out the skills that are in demand in the job market. This drive led RIT Dubai to introduce new undergraduate and graduate degree programs. These include a bachelor's degree in psychology, a fresh bachelor's degree in global business management, and a master's degree in future foresight and planning. Additionally, RIT Dubai is in the process of establishing a new bachelor's degree program in new media and another program in advertising and public relations.
Embracing new technologies, digital transformation, and innovation is woven into the very fabric of all the degrees offered by the university. RIT Dubai has built a comprehensive framework to enhance students' soft skills, encompassing areas such as communication, critical thinking, adaptability, and mindfulness.
All these programs are delivered on a cutting-edge, sustainable, and interconnected campus that spans an impressive 129,000 square meters. The campus is centered around an innovation hub, which stands out as a unique architectural structure and was recognized as one of the top 10 quirkiest campus buildings by Newsweek in 2023. Several other buildings are planned to be added to the campus to further enhance students' experiences and serve as incubators for innovative and intelligent ideas.
RIT Dubai is introducing a new three-story building, which will house over 10 classrooms and labs, energy and sustainability labs, and a solar car parking area. These new facilities will be equipped with the latest technological advancements, reflecting the essence of RIT Dubai.
To provide a holistic experience, RIT Dubai offers a distinctive internship opportunity to all its students. Unlike typical internships, RIT Dubai's internships last a minimum of three months and can extend up to a year for certain majors. To facilitate this, RIT Dubai has established partnerships with more than 30 strategic organizations that collaborate closely with the university to train and develop students, exposing them to real-world organizational challenges that they actively contribute to solving. This unique approach equips students with the skills and experience they need to excel in the job market after graduation.
Furthermore, students have the opportunity to study for one semester at any of RIT's global campuses, enhancing their cultural exposure and broadening their knowledge through interaction with peers from diverse backgrounds.
At RIT Dubai, we aim to enhance the educational experience, nurture skills, and foster a culture of continuous learning.
