Saint Joseph University Dubai was established in 2008 to offer its prestigious Bachelor of Law program as part of the Emirate of Dubai's major academic and cultural project and the Edaad program. The program has received academic accreditation from the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
The School of Law at Saint Joseph University Dubai is a branch of the Faculty of Law and Political Science at Saint Joseph University of Beirut, which was founded in 1913 and has graduated students who have held the highest positions in the world and the Lebanese state, including presidents, ministers, ambassadors, judges, lawyers, syndicates and other high legal positions.
“The school will provide the opportunity for the sons and daughters of the country to study there instead of travelling outside the borders of their country, which provides them with all the means of success, progress and excellence in knowledge and science.”
(Excerpt from the speech of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, during the signing of the agreement to establish a branch of Saint Joseph's University in Dubai).
