Abstract: Abstract Since its inception in 1971, the UAE has established an excellent and diversified system of higher education in a noticeably short period of time. It has overcome numerous obstacles to position itself as a significant educational hub in the region. This chapter describes higher education in the United Arab Emirates. It describes the types of higher education institution (HEI) in the country, the regulators of higher education, the vision of the country's leadership as expressed in national agendas regarding technology, research, and higher education, and how governance of higher academic institutions is influenced by these factors. The chapter focuses on future science and technology challenges and how the fourth industrial revolution will affect the strategic planning and governance of higher education institution in the UAE in the twenty-first century.
