engagement are embedded into the educational experience. Through this model, we aim to graduate
individuals who are not only capable professionals, but also thoughtful leaders with a deep sense of
responsibility to society.”

university global recognition. According to the QS World University Rankings 2026, Ajman University is
ranked #3 in the UAE for employer reputation, a reflection of the institution's sustained focus on
producing career-ready graduates.

Masar is aligned with We the UAE 2031 and Ajman Vision 2030, both of which emphasize the
development of national talent, the advancement of a knowledge-based economy, and the
empowerment of youth to lead transformative change across sectors. By strengthening the capabilities
of graduates to adapt, innovate, and lead, Masar contributes to the nation's priorities for inclusive and
sustainable development.

Throughout the student lifecycle, Masar delivers tailored guidance from early exploration of interests
and pathways, to mid-program industry placements, and career coaching as graduation nears. The
model continues beyond graduation, offering alumni access to mentoring, professional growth
opportunities, and lifelong engagement.

A defining characteristic of Masar is its emphasis on meaningful connection. By fostering collaboration
between students, faculty, alumni, and industry leaders, the framework offers real-world immersion
through career fairs, live projects, consulting challenges, and expert panels. These experiences
cultivate not only technical competencies but the relationship capital essential for leadership and long-
term success.
