The Developmental Instruction Unit (DIU) in the University College helps students
transition from high school to university by providing them the opportunity to develop
their communication skills (Academic Arabic and English) and mathematics proficiency
(Algebra, College Algebra, and Trigonometry) to levels required by the UAEU colleges.
DIU also offers admission exams to 2020 students and beyond to achieve their University/College
requirements. Exams include English, Arabic, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
The exams are offered through the University College Test Center. To prepare students for the admission exams, the unit provides online tutorials
as well as instructor-led exam preparations sessions.
DIU oversees all the operations related to the General Education program and offers several General Education courses like Academic English Writing, Emirates
Studies, and Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The Developmental Instruction Unit has well qualified instructors who effectively
employ student-centered mobile learning technologies to enhance learning both within
and outside the classroom.
The Developmental Instruction Unit is continuously evolving to better align itself
with the changing needs of its primary stakeholders: our students of today and tomorrow,
the UAE primary and secondary education systems, the various University colleges,
our community, and our nation.
