By PR News Desk 15/04/2025

Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU) hosted a ceremony to honour graduates of its professional programmes and distinguished academic
achievers. The event reinforced the University’s steadfast commitment to fostering a culture of excellence and promoting lifelong learning. It also reflects the
University’s strategic aim to equip national talent with essential knowledge and future-ready competencies, as well as the nation’s drive towards a
knowledge-based economy.

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’.”
