Abu Dhabi University–Al Ain

Abu Dhabi University's Al Ain branch was inaugurated in September 2003 simultaneously with the establishment of its main campus in Abu Dhabi.[4] It enrolled around 400 pupils as inaugural students[5] and was the only satellite campus of the university in the country[6] until 2011 when the institute began planning to expand into the al-Dhafra region.[7] In July 2018, WAM reported that Abu Dhabi University would be moving to a new campus from Falaj Hazzaa neighborhood to an $81 million campus in the Asharej neighborhood of Al Ain, that would be operational by September 2019.[8][9] It's groundbreaking ceremony was conducted a month later in August 2018[10] and the campus was inaugurated in August 2020 instead of September 2019[11] whereas the old campus in Falaj Hazzaa was permanently closed down.[12][13]
