The Campus
In December 2009, Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi moved into its state-of-the-art, purpose-built, permanent campus on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. The site boasts over 93,000 square meters of teaching, recreational and accommodation facilities, including a library, a 700-seat auditorium, a sports center and a cafeteria. Adding to the quality of campus life is the style of learning, which is marked by small class sizes, low staff-student ratios, very attentive professors and dynamic student engagement.
