 Posted: Sun May 21, 2006 10:04 am Post subject: ADU is it a good choice? |
 |
|
I got a job offer from ADU as an assistant professor. I was wondering about the unviersity and if it is promising. I was also wondering about the average for a decent 2-bedroom apt in Abu-Dhabi.
Thanks |

| Scroll through the previous threads. There's a lot of information out on ADU and most of it is not good. |

| I would say their problems are structural and unlikely to change any time soon. |

Could you expand on that, Your Excellency? |

I'd say that when there are this many bad postings on an employer... which have been consistent since it opened... and the latest posts are from this academic year... you can assume that things haven't changed all that much.
ADU has had HUGE problems in the EFL area - which is where most of our posters work - and any applicant should consider long and carefully before taking a position to teach English.
Since you are not in TEFL, things *may* be better within departments, but I would still want to correspond with current and ex-professors in the department that has offered you the job.
