## Who Are We Looking For

### Intergrated Admission

The University of Sharjah uses an integrated admissions process. This implies
that each component of your application is taken into account during a
thorough assessment.

Your application is divided into sections that highlight your academic record
and school setting, as well as your history and life experiences. We get
information about your character and intellectual accomplishments from people
who are close to you. We learn about your beliefs, interests, and most
important things in life through your application.

Every year, we strive to admit a diverse class with a range of backgrounds,
experiences, abilities, academic interests, and worldviews, all in accordance
with our values and legal obligations.

We want to know how you would develop personally, contribute, and succeed at
the University of Sharjah, as well as how your presence would benefit our
campus communit

### The Spirit of the UoS Community

At the University of Sharjah, our community is made up of individuals from
diverse backgrounds and perspectives who support and uplift one another,
pushing each other to exceed their own expectations. Our students frequently
collaborate with faculty and staff to influence UoS policies and advance our
mission of contributing positively to society. We seek to admit individuals
who are committed to their communities and will help preserve and strengthen
the core values of UoS.

While we value the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives our students
bring, they all share three core qualities: intellectually curious,
leadership-driven, and committed to personal growth.

### Intellectually Curious

We seek individuals passionate about using their knowledge to drive positive
change - those who aspire to innovate, improve industries, and contribute
meaningfully to society. Whether in business, public service, or the nonprofit
sector, being intellectually curious means having a deep interest in
understanding how things work and how they can be bettered. This curiosity can
be found in students from various professional and educational backgrounds,
not just those with traditional academic experiences.

**What we want:** We will look for evidence of your analytical
abilities, problem-solving skills, and vision for how you plan to use your
knowledge to make a difference.

### Leadership-Driven

We are looking for individuals inspired to lead others toward positive change
and who understand that successful leadership involves fostering diverse and
inclusive teams. Leadership at UoS is not confined to formal titles; it can be
seen in various forms across different contexts. We aim to assemble a class of
leaders who, whether on the front lines, in startups or behind the scenes, are
driven to create lasting impact.

**What we want:** Demonstrate your leadership experience through
your involvement in extracurricular activities, community service, or
professional career.

### Committed to Personal Growth

We are searching for individuals eager to broaden their perspectives, engage
in creative problem-solving, and participate in dynamic discussions. At the
University of Sharjah, you will be part of a global community of future
leaders who will challenge you to think beyond conventional boundaries. Our
learning approach, which emphasizes active participation and collaboration,
relies on students who are not only eager to learn but also willing to
contribute their unique insights.

**What we want:** Show us how you have grown and evolved, and how
you engage with the world around you.

### UoS Perspectives

Get insights from students and alumni on what life at UoS is all about.

### Core Commitments

At the University of Sharjah, we hold that true leadership is inherently tied
to strong values.
