Dubai Pharmacy College is committed to providing an accredited Bachelor of Pharmacy degree (B.Pharm) that incorporates the best professional practice experience and a learning environment, both inside, and outside the classroom that fosters Islamic values while promoting high levels of student achievement, consistent with the highest standards of academic excellence.

The College has drawn its goals from the general purpose behind the Creator’s creation of man, which is no other than serving Him alone. Says the Qur’an:
I did not create the genie and the man except that they should worship only Me. (51:56)
From this general principle, branches off other subsidiary goals that control the entire range of man’s actions whether they are in relation to God or other men or animals or vegetables or inanimate objects. Islamic Shariah, thus, has rules of guidance that cover all movements of man in the universe for the achievement of definite goals. Man’s endeavor to realize the general and particular goals formulated by Islam is sure to lead him to human perfection, to spiritual sublimity and material advancement. This is what has been proved by facts and confirmed by reason and the Shariah of Islam. Guided by the above mentioned goals of the Islamic Shariah, the founding fathers of the College have made a firm determination to inculcate the true educational and scientific spirit among those who avow their adherence to it, in keeping with the following objectives:
1.Awareness of the true meaning of servitude to Allah.
2.Acquiring knowledge of Medicine and Surgery to such an extent that the graduate may pursue the medical profession with ability and distinction.
3.Shortening the study period through intensive teaching, lengthening the working hours and avoiding wastage of time by curtailing the holidays during the academic year.
4.Modernizing the methods of teaching so as to realize the objective of self-learning and positivism on the part of the learner.
5.Singularity of the curriculum by making it, as far as possible, three-dimensional: a dimension for pure knowledge, a dimension for practice and training, and a dimension for application.
6.Producing singularly proficient lady doctors of high academic excellence, capable of shouldering responsibilities on obtaining the degree of MBBS.
7.Producing lady doctors possessed of Islamic morals and manners as well as a deep knowledge of Islamic tenets particular to women and those relating to medical profession; doctors that are aware of the relations between a physician and a patient as well as between one physician and another.
8.Producing qualified Muslim lady doctors for the treatment of women patients in the fast developing society of the U.A.E, which is in real need of women doctors.
9.Affording the girls of the U.A.E an opportunity to study medicine inside the country without fear of Westernization or exposure to societies following different faiths, habits and traditions.
10.Giving a chance to expatriate girl students to study medicine in the U.A.E.
11.Avoiding the system of co-education. That is why admission to the College is limited to girl students only.
12.Working towards Arabization of medical studies.

Dubai Medical College (DMCG) is committed to provide students with medical education to obtain an accredited degree of Bachelor in Medicine and Surgery in the U.A.E. DMCG will achieve its mission by providing a learning environment, both inside, and outside the classroom that fosters Islamic values and promotes high levels of student achievement, consistent with the highest standards of academic excellence.

The American University in Dubai is a private, non-sectarian institution of higher learning founded in 1995. AUD’s enrollment in 2010-2011 averaged 2,628 students. In Spring 2011, ninety-four nationalities were represented in the AUD student body.
It is widely believed that American education is synonymous with “quality”. This belief is particularly prevalent with regards to American education at the university level. Several factors are judged to explain this excellence: a curriculum that imparts general knowledge but allows for significant specialization; faculty who frequently contribute to scholarship in addition to exercising their classroom duties; teaching methods that develop in students strong skills in critical reasoning and accurate and persuasive self-expression; the maintenance of high academic standards via clear and consistent policies; and instilling in students an appreciation for life-long learning.
The Mission of The American University in Dubai is to fulfill the broad educational needs of a culturally diverse student body by achieving excellence in teaching and learning, ultimately resulting in the intellectual, personal, and professional success of its graduates and the advancement of society.
The university community believes it has a special commitment to support each individual’s goals. To this end, the university places emphasis on the educational, professional and personal growth of each student. AUD, as an international institution of higher education, encourages global understanding by providing an atmosphere of cultural diversity and opportunities for international education. Programs, policies and activities – which have been designed to implement this Philosophy and Purpose Statement – are evaluated periodically and changed, as necessary, to meet the needs of the student body and the institution.

American University in Dubai is a private, non-sectarian institution of higher learning. AUD offers both undergraduate and gradute degrees and a Certificate in Middle Eastern Studies.

For over 50 years, GEMS Education has approached its educational offering from a unique perspective.
We have always believed that a high quality education, with an international outlook, is critical in an increasingly competitive global environment. ‘Globalisation’ maybe the catch-cry of today but we have acknowledged its impact for decades, and prepared our students accordingly. (See world wide university acceptances for GEMS students, including in the U.S under the GEMS Difference below).

SABIS® is a global education management organization that is distinguished by a 125+ year track record in the operation of Pre-K and K-12 schools. The distinguishing mark of these schools is their implementation of the SABIS® Educational System. It is a system that offers a rigorous, internationally-oriented, college-preparatory curriculum for students aged 3 to 18+, focusing primarily on the core subjects of English, mathematics, sciences, and world languages.
The first school in what has grown to be the SABIS® School Network was the International School of Choueifat, which was founded in 1886 in the village of Choueifat, a suburb of Beirut, Lebanon. Currently, the SABIS® School Network consists of schools that operate in the private and public sectors worldwide. These schools located in 15 countries on four continents educate thousands of students and all implement the SABIS® Educational System, although each one of them remains financially independent.
Although the mother school started in 1886 in Lebanon, the first branch of The International Schools of Choueifat (members of the SABIS® School Network) in the Gulf started in 1975-6. Now, there are nine schools located in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Al-Ain, Ras Al-Khaimah, Ruwais, Um Al-Qiwain, Doha and Muscat. Courses in all the schools are followed at the same rate. Through the use of videoconferencing, for both teaching and weekly administrative meetings, these nine schools run practically as one. Accordingly, students who transfer from one SABIS® School to another will continue in the new school at exactly the same point at which they left. Transfers can be made at any time during the year, subject to availability of places. This feature gives a definite advantage to parents who may move from one city to another on a temporary or a permanent basis.
All but one of The International Schools of Choueifat in the gulf operate in purpose-built premises set in campuses of various sizes (the construction of the purpose-built school in Doha will start soon). The schools have an international body of staff and students. Currently, the student population in the nine schools is 10520 in academic year 0304 (Gulf Region) drawn from around 80 countries. This provides a diverse cultural exposure to complement the high-level education offered.
During the last twenty-seven years, hundreds of students have graduated from The International Schools of Choueifat in the Gulf region and then graduated from top universities in the world. In the UK, these universities include Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Bristol, Edinburgh, Bath, The Imperial College of Science and Technology and all other London Universities, Birmingham, Liverpool, etc. In the USA, they include Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, U-Penn, and tens of other prominent universities. In Canada these universities include McGill, Columbia, McMaster, Concordia, etc. Still other ex-students graduated from top universities in Japan, Germany, France, Belgium, Australia, and other countries. These students graduated as engineers, medical doctors, economists, computer scientists, and so on, and are presently very successful in their careers. Some of letters of acceptance that our students received from top universities are displayed in the administration lobby of the school.

The ISC UAE Schools are a close-knit community where administrators, teachers, and students enjoy a positive and respectful relationship. Every student in the school has the support of their extended school family. Whether needing academic assistance or personal advice, students are provided with the helping hand of the school faculty and SLO™ in every aspect of their school life. This fosters a friendly and caring atmosphere throughout the school where students feel supported at all times.

IHC will be known throughout the MENASA region for our progressive American curriculum college education and superior rates of student success.
Strategic Goals and Objectives:
Increase access to higher education of under-served groups in the MENESA region.
Foster innovation in teaching and learning to improve student success – establishing the Global Classroom and Anytime Anywhere Learning
Promote college-wide interaction with, and acceptance of, diverse peoples, cultures, arts and perspectives.
Engage all members of the college community in an ongoing program of environmental sustainability and resource conservation.

IHC was founded on July 19, 2011 as an American curriculum business and liberal arts college. The founding investors and members of the Board of Trustees envisioned a college that would make higher education more affordable and accessible in the Middle East North Africa South Asia (MENASA) region. Their vision was especially focused on building a bridge to elite universities in the US after students completed their general education course requirements in Dubai during the first two college years. The four-year experience starting with an Associates degree in Dubai and ending with a Bachelors degree in the US will be seamless academically because IHC is structured completely on the American system of instruction (course content, American faculty and teaching methods, learning resources and transferability of credits to US).
In November 2011, the Board was appointed and in turn selected Dr. Michael Dobe Sr. as the President and Dr. Douglas Treadway as the Provost. The Board approved planning for the college campus that included provisions for a temporary campus until the permanent site could be constructed.
Prior to authorizing the application for licensure, the Board approved the Vision, Mission and Goals of the college, the College Catalog, Board By-laws and College Policies and Procedures.
Following approval for licensure and accreditation, the Board planned for the opening of IHC in January 2012 as the inaugural class. A small number of students have been selected to represent IHC and be future ambassadors for the college. These impressive leaders will welcome the September 2013 class and future classes.

International Horizons College is licensed and accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR). The college is an independent and international undergraduate institution committed to fulfilling high standards of academic excellence and relevancy to the 21st century. IHC offers a Progressive American Curriculum College Education.
