ECMAS - the Emirates College of Media Arts and Sciences

To our students and families, and to our esteemed colleagues around the world,

The Emirates College of Media Arts and Sciences (ECMAS) will be the first completely independent institution of higher education devoted solely to digital media studies in the entire Middle East, offering a 4 year Bachelor of Media Arts degree in four areas of study: Film and Digital Television, Broadcast Journalism, Digital Animation and Digital New Media Design.

ECMAS will initially be accredited by the United Arab Emirates Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) and the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

Additionally, ECMAS will continue to establish bilateral cooperation agreements with a broad network of renowned international universities in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Australia/New Zealand for joint curriculum programs and projects, study abroad programs for students, and the exchange of high level staff.

ECMAS is committed to the highest possible academic and moral standards, to knowledge that is constantly informed by good judgment, by what is right and not by what is expedient. This commitment is embodied in the ECMAS motto, “Wisdom with Integrity”.

The ECMAS Board of Governors, the administration, faculty, and employees are in unanimous agreement to initially establish, and to consistently maintain, the highest possible academic standards, full financial accountability, and most importantly, to instill in our students the moral integrity and unique ability to use the knowledge imparted to them during their four years of study to the best of their abilities and for the benefit of all mankind.
