A UAE leader’s guide to undergraduate education

As the UAE continues to grow as a global education hub, leading undergraduate education at scale calls for strong leadership that extends beyond classrooms and curriculum. It relies on clear governance, close coordination between admissions and academics, and institutional systems that support consistent student outcomes.

In this session, Dr. Lolowa AlMarzooqi, Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education at NYU Abu Dhabi, will share how universities can lead undergraduate education at an institutional level. Drawing from her experience overseeing policy reform, governance structures, and major undergraduate initiatives, the discussion will explore how leaders can align admissions, academics, and more to deliver high-quality outcomes.
