Who Are We Looking For

Intergrated Admission

The University of Sharjah uses an integrated admissions process. This implies that each component of your application is taken into account during a thorough assessment.

Your application is divided into sections that highlight your academic record and school setting, as well as your history and life experiences. We get information about your character and intellectual accomplishments from people who are close to you. We learn about your beliefs, interests, and most important things in life through your application.

Every year, we strive to admit a diverse class with a range of backgrounds, experiences, abilities, academic interests, and worldviews, all in accordance with our values and legal obligations.

We want to know how you would develop personally, contribute, and succeed at the University of Sharjah, as well as how your presence would benefit our campus communit

The Spirit of the UoS Community

At the University of Sharjah, our community is made up of individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives who support and uplift one another, pushing each other to exceed their own expectations. Our students frequently collaborate with faculty and staff to influence UoS policies and advance our mission of contributing positively to society. We seek to admit individuals who are committed to their communities and will help preserve and strengthen the core values of UoS.

While we value the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives our students bring, they all share three core qualities: intellectually curious, leadership-driven, and committed to personal growth.

Intellectually Curious

We seek individuals passionate about using their knowledge to drive positive change - those who aspire to innovate, improve industries, and contribute meaningfully to society. Whether in business, public service, or the nonprofit sector, being intellectually curious means having a deep interest in understanding how things work and how they can be bettered. This curiosity can be found in students from various professional and educational backgrounds, not just those with traditional academic experiences.

What we want: We will look for evidence of your analytical abilities, problem-solving skills, and vision for how you plan to use your knowledge to make a difference.

Leadership-Driven

We are looking for individuals inspired to lead others toward positive change and who understand that successful leadership involves fostering diverse and inclusive teams. Leadership at UoS is not confined to formal titles; it can be seen in various forms across different contexts. We aim to assemble a class of leaders who, whether on the front lines, in startups or behind the scenes, are driven to create lasting impact.

What we want: Demonstrate your leadership experience through your involvement in extracurricular activities, community service, or professional career.

Committed to Personal Growth

We are searching for individuals eager to broaden their perspectives, engage in creative problem-solving, and participate in dynamic discussions. At the University of Sharjah, you will be part of a global community of future leaders who will challenge you to think beyond conventional boundaries. Our learning approach, which emphasizes active participation and collaboration, relies on students who are not only eager to learn but also willing to contribute their unique insights.

What we want: Show us how you have grown and evolved, and how you engage with the world around you.
