Zayed International College originally expected to open in September 2005, in Abu Dhabi, but it appears that funding issues delayed opening. Reason for relocation to Dubai Knowledge Village is unknown.
ZIC is part of Zayed University, but unlike ZU which only accepts Emirati students, ZIC is intended to be for students of all nationalities. Courses will include bachelors' degrees in Information Systems and Information Technology management.
