During the event, Professor Dr Hanan bin Abdullah, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at the University, announced the launch of three new bachelor's degree programs: the Bachelor of Science in Geology, the Bachelor of Science in Desert Science, and the Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Technology.
Professor Dr Hanan bin Abdullah explained that these programmes were designed in response to the environmental, food, and developmental challenges facing the country and aimed to prepare specialised scientific cadres capable of supporting the UAE’s efforts in sustainability, food security, and natural resource management.

Aligning education with national priorities

She added that the new programs were designed to align with local and regional labour market needs and comply with accredited academic quality standards. Through these specialisations, UODH aims to consolidate its role as an educational institution that contributes towards achieving the nation's development priorities.
