The collaboration between the UAE Space Agency and the UN's Office for Outer Space Affairs will further boost related activities.
Keeping up with trends, universities in the UAE have introduced programmes that offer foundation to understand terrestrial applications, celestial bodies, satellite communications, security and other aspects relevant to the sspace industry. Astrophysics and space science studies are also aligned with the golden era of the UAE, giving students delve deeper into an exciting field post-graduation. The upcoming mission to Mars, launch of a UAE space agency, followed by a series of satellites - the Khalifasat, Dubaisat 1 and 2 and Yahsat - demonstrate endless opportunities for future careers and contribution to the scientific community.
Other specialised fields are also garnering attention from students. One university is gearing up to introduce a programme centred on criminology and forensics in September 2020. The course, which is accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Bar Standards Board, aims to give students a window of opportunity to explore the heart of the legal system. Paired with psychology and behaviour research, students can aspire to work in the justice field while armed with research, analytical and communication skills.
