About UOWD
The University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD) is one of the UAE's oldest and most prestigious universities. Established in 1993 by the University of Wollongong in Australia - currently ranked amongst the leading universities in the world - UOW in Dubai represents a pioneering Australian initiative in the Gulf region.

About the Program
UOWD has two media programs - an Undergraduate - Bachelor of Communication and Media (BCM)and a Postgraduate - Master of Media and Communication (MMC).

The BCM program is relatively new and dynamic with four specializations: 1.) Digital & Social Media; 2.) Visual Communication Design; 3.) Screen Media Production; 4.) Marketing, Communication & Advertising. First and foremost, the BCM program is a process based, media making and media design program. The focus is on practice-based team work, and preparing students for careers in the media industry. The MMC program has recently undergone significant restructuring in terms of content and focus in order to address the needs of students and professionals facing an ever-changing industry and innovative emerging media practices. These programs follow the approach of teacher as facilitator, rather than teacher as lecturer. Courses are designed and taught as a collaborative experience between facilitator and student. This process-based, facilitator approach to teaching and learning is expected from all faculty members.
