Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and President of the University of Sharjah, witnessed on Monday the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the University of Sharjah (UoS) and the Sharjah Training Centre for Airports Science (STCAS), at his office at the University.

The MoU was signed by Sheikh Khalid Bin Issam Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Sharjah Civil Aviation Department and Chairman of the Board of Directors of STCAS, and Professor Dr Esameldin Agamy, Chancellor of the University of Sharjah.

The MoU aims to achieve integration between the University's academic expertise and the Centre's operational expertise in the field of aviation.

Both parties will work to develop innovative academic programmes by designing and delivering joint academic programmes in aviation management, and by integrating a number of accredited training courses offered by the Centre - such as the “Air Traffic Control” programme - into the academic curricula as core subjects.
