The graduation ceremony underscored the University’s forward-looking vision to design agile and innovative educational and training
pathways tailored to the evolving needs of key sectors, such as business management, quality, banking, healthcare, environment, and
smart learning. Through these efforts, HBMSU aims to empower learners to drive innovation and progress within these vital domains.

During the ceremony, the names of all academically distinguished learners and graduates from professional programmes were unveiled.
This was reflective of HBMSU’s commitment to honouring the efforts of learners, celebrating their academic excellence, and fostering a
culture of continuous learning and leadership.

Held on the campus on April 15, the ceremony honoured 110 graduates from the University’s Lifelong pathway, while 93 learners earned
academic distinction at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This vibrant gathering further showcased the University’s pride
in learners’ accomplishments and its enduring commitment to their academic and professional excellence.

In his speech during the ceremony, H.E. Dr. Mansoor Al Awar, Chancellor of Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University, said, “This
ceremony celebrates two fundamental pillars of our University’s mission, inspired by the profound words of His Highness Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. The first pillar focuses on lifelong
learning, which draws on His Highness’ words – ‘Do not stop seeking knowledge. Knowledge is what creates life. Those who cease to
learn, cease to live.’ The second pillar reflects the value of academic excellence, as encapsulated in his saying – ‘Excellence is a journey,
not a destination’.”

His Excellency further stated that the University hopes to recognise both lifelong learning pathway graduates and other academically
distinguished learners during the University’s annual official ceremony in the future. His Excellency concluded by extending his heartfelt
appreciation to the families of learners for their unwavering support and determination.

The event reaffirmed HBMSU’s enduring dedication to empowering learners through an innovative digital ecosystem—harnessing smart
learning technologies to offer flexible, demand-driven professional programs that align with individual ambitions and evolving market
needs, while contributing to sustainable development and the growth of a competitive, knowledge-based economy.
