Revenue Streams
2022 2021
61. • Revenue has decreased by 17.5 % due to the following:
▪ Tuition revenue has decreased by 24 % due to the decrease in
Undergraduate courses by 1,025 courses; 485 courses in BS-IT, 178
courses in BS-CE,225 courses in GUCR courses, and 137 courses in BBA
courses.
▪ There is an increase in Graduate courses by 62 courses; 45 courses in
MSDS, 9 courses in Ph.D., and 23 courses in LLM. and a decrease by 15
courses in MBA.
▪ Grant income & research of Approx. AED 2.9M this year & last year
amount by AED 1.9M.
▪ There is an increase by AED 15M investment with the Dubai Chamber,
bringing the total investment with the Dubai Chamber to AED 55M.
Notes : Compared to Sep. 2021
Expenses have increased by 3.4 % due to :

number due to the new programs like
MSDS, and the increase in insurance
exp.
▪ There is a decrease in the DEWA bill
due to the new solar.

Non-Cash Expenses:
▪ Depreciation expenses have decreased
by approx. AED 178K as compared to
Sep. 2021 due to some of Eng F.A being
fully depreciated, and the depreciation
of solar system added in 2021.
62. We were able to implement the following cost reduction strategy, saving around AED 1.8M.
Cost Reduction Strategy
Decisions Impact
Starting from Fall 22-23
• Regardless of designation, full-time and part-time faculty will be paid AED 10,000
per overload course (45 contact hours); if the class size is less than 10 students, a
prorated rate will be applied.
• Discontinue course file and exam preparation compensation for full-time and
part-time faculty.
• The normal teaching load for All full-time faculty members including the Associate
and Full Professors at the professorial rank is 12 credit hours (CH) in a regular
semester or 24 CH per year, which is equivalent to 180 contact hours (12 CH x 15
contact hours per CH) in a semester, or 360 contact hours in an academic year.
• All full-time faculty and part-time faculty members if they teach graduate courses
the graduate course will be 4 CH instead of 3 CH.
The total cost reduction impact will be
AED 646,628 per year.
Starting from Jan.2023
Reduce the program directors' monthly allowance from AED 3,000 to AED 1,500. And
to eliminate the allowances for president advisors and CBRC directors.
The total cost deduction will be AED
192K per year.
63. Cost Reduction Strategy

Merge the GUCR English courses for the college of Eng. And to
be taught alongside regular GUCR English courses.
This will reduce the cost by AED 296K per year.
Starting From Jan.2023
Re-evaluate the EmSAT exam process at UD to be AED 500 per

This will reduce the cost by AED 57K per year.
Starting From Jan.2023
Reduce the number of outsourced cleaners and security.
The total cost reduction will be AED 289K per year
Starting From Sep.2022
Postponed staff annual training for 2022.
