At our core, we remain dedicated to embracing next-generation technologies and new methods of learning that prepare our students to address the evolving challenges of modern air travel. We take particular pride in our 84% post-graduation employment rate, watching our graduates forge successful careers and push boundaries across the sector."

 

This year’s cohort of 288 graduates included 100 postgraduate and 188 bachelor students of which 37 are Emirates sponsored students. Emirates Aviation University honoured 14 exemplary students across all disciplines, whose accomplishments reflected EAU’s commitment to delivering future aviation leaders. 

 

Over 180 undergraduate students received the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to intern with the Emirates Group for more than one semester. The highly sought-after roles serve as a vital stepping stone for students, performing authentic job tasks for hands-on experience, helping equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to build a strong foundation for their future careers. -TradeArabia News Service
