Urban design students at UAE University will get the chance to work on some of Abu Dhabi's largest planning projects. The Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC) and UAE University (UAEU) signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) to strengthen collaboration in scientific research, and to set up training programmes for students at the university to enhance local talent.

The UPC will provide five annual internship opportunities for students, as well as the chance to work on some of its key planning projects. Thirty UAEU students have been placed at the UPC as interns, and some have gone on to secure permanent employment at the UPC after graduating.

The MoC will see the UPC's regulations and planning manuals included in the curriculum of the Geography and Urban Planning, Planning and Urban Design and Architectural Engineering courses.
