Our Profile
Accreditation Status
RAK Medical & Health Sciences University and its academic programmes are licensed and
accredited by the relevant national and international bodies. Every card below is one entry
on the University's register — 24 in all — and shows the programme
or facility, the body that accredited it, when the accreditation was granted, when it runs
to, and its current status. Where the accrediting body publishes a register of its own, the
card links straight to it so the entry can be checked at source.

Who accredits us
Six bodies hold the University to account: the national ministry that licenses it, three
international programme accreditors, and two specialist bodies. Each logo is that
organisation's own mark, and each card links to the body's own website — and, where the
body publishes one, to the public register the University's entry can be checked in.
