The motto of Mada University for Science & Technology, "Science and technology, taught online", is not a slogan on a crest. It is the test faculty use when they design a module: will a graduate be able to use this, and can the university prove the student learned it?
In practice that means published rubrics, assessment tasks tied to real work, and feedback that explains what a stronger answer would have done. It applies equally to students in Dubai and online.
The approach is most visible in science, technology, computing and applied management, where programs such as BSc Cyber Security, MA Digital Marketing and MA Publishing & Digital Media ask students to produce work a professional would recognise.
It also explains why online degrees are tuition-free. A university that measures itself by what graduates can do has little reason to exclude capable students because of tuition they cannot pay.
Prospective students can read how each program is assessed on its program page, linked from the program finder.
Mada University for Science & Technology (جامعة مدى للعلوم والتكنولوجيا) was founded in 2010 and teaches from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with tuition-free online degrees open to students in the United States and abroad.
