The University of Khorfakkan will offer studies in arts and sciences, information technology, Sharia and business administration.
Dr Sheikh Sultan said science and its foundations are the way to achieve progress, a belief that drives Sharjah's efforts in establishing universities and academic institutions across the emirate.
Dr Sheikh Sultan also signed an agreement between the University of Khorfakkan and the University of Exeter in England to design and prepare bachelor's programmes in both marine biology and marine science.
The University of Sharjah's branches in Kalba and Al Dhaid will become universities in their own right in the coming years.
