This includes its inaugural undergraduate class, new graduate cohorts in existing programmes in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Robotics, and the first intakes into the Master of Science in Statistics &amp; Data Science and Master in Applied Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This semester received more than 8,000 applications across the university\u2019s Bachelor and graduate programmes, yielding an acceptance rate of 5 per cent, and reinforcing the university\u2019s prestigious position and ability to attract the best talent in the UAE and from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timothy Baldwin, MBZUAI Provost and Professor of Natural Language Processing, said: \u201cThis year, MBZUAI welcomes our largest cohort of graduate students alongside our inaugural undergraduate class. Artificial intelligence is transforming the world at a pace that vastly outstrips traditional education models. To realise its full global potential, MBZUAI invests heavily in reviewing and updating our programmes to reflect modern AI research methodology and workflows, based on our bleeding-edge AI research credentials and grounded in societal and industrial needs. As a young institution, MBZUAI has already earned a place among the world\u2019s top 10 AI universities based on our research credentials. With the introduction of our undergraduate and Master\u2019s in Applied AI programmes, we continue to build world-leading programmes aligned with the UAE\u2019s National Strategy for AI 2031 and supporting Abu Dhabi\u2019s rapidly growing AI ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newly launched Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence programme offers two streams, AI for Business and AI for Engineering, combining technical rigor with leadership, hands-on entrepreneurship, and in-situ industry experience. The first class consists of 115 undergraduate students from more than 25 countries, over 25 per cent of which are UAE Nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor Baldwin said: \u201cThe jobs of tomorrow are being shaped by AI today and we must ensure that future generations are equipped with the tools and skills to navigate that shift. Our extraordinarily talented students don\u2019t just learn about AI, but learn with it, through it, and for it. This is an extraordinary value proposition across all our programmes, but especially for our undergraduate students, who will be studying towards a bachelor\u2019s degree in AI that I believe sets a new global benchmark in terms of technical depth, real-world relevance, and the high-end AI job-readiness of the students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key highlights for the Fall 2025 intake includes MBZUAI\u2019s total student body totaling more than 700, representing over 47 nationalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nationalities represented in the undergraduate programmes are Bulgaria, China, Egypt, Georgia, Greece, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, the UAE and the UK. Postgraduate programmes bring together students from Canada, China, Egypt, France, India, Italy, Kazakhstan, Serbia, UAE, UK, USA and Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MBZUAI continues to attract exceptional students, with&nbsp;151 of the incoming graduate students (27.5 per cent)&nbsp;holding degrees from the&nbsp;world\u2019s top 100 computer science universities (CSRankings), including&nbsp;Cornell University, Tsinghua University, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of California, San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In welcoming the new students, MBZUAI has begun its immersive Orientation Week, introducing new students to the university\u2019s culture of academic excellence, AI-driven innovation, and community engagement. The programme combines academic sessions, mentorship activities, and cultural programming celebrating UAE heritage and life in Abu Dhabi. Highlights include the Orientation Mini Fair, where internal and external partners showcase resources for academic success, career development, and student life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orientation Week is designed to foster a strong sense of belonging and connection, laying the foundation for academic success and life-changing university experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mbzuai.ac.ae\">www.mbzuai.ac.ae<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abu Dhabi, 16 August 2025: Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) has welcomed its largest cohort for its Fall 2025 intake, enrolling 403 new students.
