University of Europe for Applied Sciences in Dubai announces new industry-focused programmes for September 2025
United Arab Emirates, Dubai: The University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) is excited to announce the launch of several new academic programmes at its Dubai campus, set to commence in September 2025. These programmes are meticulously designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge essential for success in today's rapidly evolving global markets.
Among the new programmes is the Bachelor of Science in Sport & Event Management, which combines core business principles with industry-specific modules. Students will explore areas such as sport and event marketing, foundational management concepts, and have the opportunity to specialize in areas like Football Management.
The programme's launch comes at a time of significant investment in the Middle East's sports sector. The region has rapidly emerged as a centre for major international events, with Saudi Arabia set to host the FIFA World Cup in 2034, marking a significant milestone in the region's sports industry. This surge in sports activities has led to a heightened demand for professionals skilled in sports and event management. The Middle East's sports industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, with projections indicating an annual increase of 8.7% by 2026, significantly outpacing the global average of 3.3% over the same period.[1]
Furthermore, the sports tourism market in the Middle East and Africa is expected to reach approximately USD 113.3 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5% from 2024 to 2030.[2]
Professor Dr. Maurits van Rooijen, President of UE Dubai, commented on the programme's significance:"We are proud to expand our new academic offerings in a city at the forefront of global innovation and economic growth. Our new programmes are meticulously crafted to equip students with the expertise needed to excel in dynamic industries such as sports and event management, design and management, software engineering, and international business. With Dubai's strategic position as a global hub and the Middle East's rapid advancements in these sectors, we are dedicated to developing the next generation of professionals who will drive innovation and leadership in their respective fields. At UE Dubai, we remain committed to providing a forward-thinking education that aligns with industry trends, ensuring our graduates are not only prepared for the future but are also shaping it."
In addition to the BSc Sport & Event Management, UE Dubai is introducing a range of programmes designed to prepare students for success in high-demand fields. These include the Bachelor of Arts in Design & Management Studies, which integrates creative design principles with strategic management to prepare students for innovative roles across various industries; the Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering, focused on equipping students with the latest technological skills necessary to excel in the rapidly evolving field of software development; and the Master of Science in International Business Management, designed to offer aspiring global business leaders advanced insights into international business strategies and practices.

Jordan celebrate historic World Cup qualification, King Abdullah II leads tributes
Jordan's King Abdullah II led the tributes as his nation celebrated reaching the Fifa World Cup for the first time in their history. Ali Olwan was the hero for the Jordanians as he netted a hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Oman in Muscat on Thursday night. The jubilant away supporters were joined by Crown Prince Hussein, who was seen celebrating in the stands. The win put the 2023 Asian Cup runners-up into a commanding position to secure a top-two finish in AFC qualifying Group B behind leaders South Korea, and their progress was confirmed a few hours later when the Koreans beat Iraq 2-0 in Basra. Jordan's King Abdullah II congratulated the team on social media. 'This historic qualification is well-deserved by our team, which includes stars and cadres of whom we are proud,' he wrote on X. 'Special thanks go to our loyal fans who have been our support and encouragement.' Jordan's qualification for the expanded 48-team tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico extends a rewarding period for the national team after their run to the Asian Cup final in 2023. In that competition they eliminated South Korea in the last four before eventually losing to hosts Qatar in the final. The South Koreans cemented top spot in AFC Group B and consigned Iraq to another round of qualifying with a routine victory at the Basra International Stadium. The Iraqi cause was not helped by a first-half red card for Ipswich striker Ali Al Hamadi and goals after the break from Kim Jin-gyu and Oh Hyeon-gyu confirmed their defeat. The Iraqis will drop into the fourth round of qualifying where they will be joined by either Palestine or Oman who meet next week in a winner-takes-all clash. Palestine kept their hopes alive with a 2-0 win over Kuwait on Thursday thanks to goals from Tamer Seyam and Wessam Abou Ali. The six teams who finish third and fourth across the three AFC groups will enter a fresh phase of qualifying featuring two groups of three with the winners of each section sealing a place at the finals. Four of the six teams – UAE, Qatar, Indonesia and Iraq – are already known, with most likely Saudi Arabia and one of Palestine and Oman to complete the line up. Saudi Arabia alive but face steep task Saudi Arabia and Australia will go head-to-head next Tuesday for the second automatic spot in Group C. Australia remain in pole position following their last-gasp win against group leaders Japan in Perth. Defender Aziz Behich was the home hero in front of more than 57,000 fans, rifling into the corner in the 90th minute to give Tony Popovic's side a crucial 1-0 victory. 'We know there's room to grow and room to improve, but we've done something special tonight,' said Popovic, who saw his team outplayed for long periods by an experimental Japan side. Saudi Arabia ensured the race for second place will go down to the wire courtesy of a 2-0 win against Bahrain in Riffa. Goals in either half from Musab Al Juwayr and Abdulrahman Al Obud saw Herve Renard's men stay three points behind second-placed Australia. However, the Saudis will have to win in Jeddah by five goals to leapfrog the Socceroos. Popovic, who replaced Graham Arnold in the dugout in September, added: 'We've all played a part in getting us to this point. We want to go to Saudi Arabia and really finish the job off.' Also in Group C, Patrick Kluivert's Indonesia kept alive their hopes of reaching a first World Cup since the country's independence in 1945 with a 1-0 win over China. That leaves Indonesia fourth in the group, one point behind Saudi. Ole Romeny scored the only goal, his controversial penalty just before half time following a VAR check leaving China rooted to the bottom of the group and thus ending their hopes of making a second World Cup. UAE and Qatar will move into the next round of qualifying.
