ABOUT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN

With a faculty
that contributes experiences in practice and research in more than ten countries, the international make-up of the School of Architecture
and Interior Design at CUD is unique in the UAE. It brings together traditions and innovations from the East and the West, the North and the
South, and seeks to provide the best of this broad cultural background in design, offering new views on the local context from a global
perspective.

CUD offers an environment where Canadian values of Higher Education meet creatively and complementarily with the local
culture and academic higher education regulations. The School understands architecture and interior design as manifestations of social and
cultural life in space. It conceives architectural and interior design as creative processes giving spatial forms to human values by
organizing material and environmental conditions in the urban context; It considers that architectural design creations must provide
inspiring enclosure for human activity and thinking to thrive. The School offers a five-year Bachelor of Architecture, a four-year Bachelor
of Science in Interior Design, and a two-year Master of Science in Design Innovation for Circular Economy, while it is expanding its
educational ecosystem to shape a more comprehensive design landscape.

PROFILE

The candidate's
teaching and research area is that of environmental design methods and tools for pursuing carbon neutrality in the built environment through
