Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) and the University of Oxford in 2016, has achieved remarkable results by supporting UAE and Arab students to pursue advanced academic
studies at the University of Oxford, one of the world’s most renowned universities.

This collaboration exemplifies a pioneering initiative to invest in knowledge and human capital by providing Arab students with seamless access to postgraduate courses. It
helps them improve their intellectual capacity by learning under the guidance of globally acclaimed academics while building robust connections with exceptional peers from
different countries and diverse fields.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said: “This scholarship reflects the visionary principles of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, which aim to ensure a sustainable and prosperous future. The innovative initiative seeks to empower Emirati
and Arab students by offering higher education that facilitates their knowledge-based skill development. Additionally, it highlights our commitment to reinforcing scientific,
academic, and research excellence in the Arab world, in line with our mission to support students and researchers locally and regionally, further positioning the UAE as a leading
global knowledge hub.”

research activities. Furthermore, it contributes to the development of a robust Arab knowledge society, in line with the UAE’s commitment to positioning education and
innovation as key pillars for creating a prosperous future.
