Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence is a graduate research university in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It opened in 2020 as an institution devoted to artificial intelligence, named for Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. It is a specialist AI university rather than a comprehensive campus: every student is in a graduate computing program. Instruction is in English.

The university is organized around departments in machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, robotics, and computer science. Graduate work is research-intensive and tied to laboratories in those fields. The Masdar City campus places students among other technology organizations in Abu Dhabi's planned city district.

The student body is small, on the order of a few hundred, and entirely graduate. Students come from many countries by design. Faculty are computer scientists recruited internationally. Early alumni work in research laboratories, technology firms, and further doctoral study.

Degrees are Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in the core AI fields. Study combines coursework with a thesis under a supervisor. Admitted students typically receive full scholarships and a living stipend. The calendar follows semesters. Graduate life is concentrated on the Masdar City campus, where housing and laboratories sit close together outside central Abu Dhabi.

In the Grad School Navigator directory, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence lists 3 graduate programs in artificial intelligence: 1 master's program and 2 doctoral programs.
