Students Assistantships is the term applied to registered graduate students who have fulfilled the University’s established criteria for appointment (no more than 50% time) to research assistantships and for which they are compensated at rates approved annually by the Regents of the Canadian University of Dubai. These apprenticeships are intended to provide qualified students with relevant training experience for academic and academic-related careers in teaching and research and to augment limited resources from within the University for graduate student support. As a matter of University policy, apprentice personnel in both the teaching and research series are considered primarily as students being professionally trained.
Graduate students who are recipients of teaching and research assistantships must meet all registration and enrollment criteria established by the Graduate Council and the department. They must also maintain satisfactory progress throughout their appointments. Please contact the department for details.
