A member of the Abu Dhabi ruling family has received his Doctorate, having achieved outstanding success in his PhD degree awarded by Bangor University's Business School.
After gaining his MPhil at Cambridge University, Sheikh Hazza bin Sultan bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, enrolled on a PhD programme at Bangor University undertaking research in Natural Resources, Economic Development and Security in the United Arab Emirates, supervised by Dr David Law and Professor Phil Molyneux, Head of the Business School.
The timing of Sheikh Hazza bin Sultan bin Zayed Al-Nahyans award coincided with a milestone in the history of Bangor Business School of being rated the No 1 department in the UK for Accounting and Finance Research, according to the results of the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
Following his viva voce, Sheikh Hazza commented: I inherited my Royal title but I am very glad to have gained my PhD independently. I have enjoyed the friendly and supportive atmosphere at Bangor, the encouragement of my family and the support of my advisor, Dr. Walid Al-Dargazelli.
Reflecting on Sheikh Hazzas success, Dr David Law said: ''Sheikh Hazza was a very good student, who was especially impressive in his articulate defence of his wide-ranging PhD thesis in the final viva voce examination. I am sure that his work will enable him to make a substantial contribution to the future development of the UAE.
Bangor Business School also enjoys close ties with other countries on the Arabian peninsula. This year Sheikha Hessa Khalifa from Bahrain also successfully defended her PhD thesis on banking in the Gulf and Faisal Al-Kassim completed his doctorate on Islamic hedge funds. There are currently a range of students from Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Yemen completing their doctoral studies.
Students funded by the King Abdul Aziz Scholarships of Saudi Arabia enroll on Masters degrees in Accounting, Banking and Finance. Bahraini students also enroll every year on Banking and Finance bachelor degrees through a partnership agreement with the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance. Also members of the Qatari Al-Thani royal family have also graduated from Bangor University in recent years
Bangor Business Schools recently launched suite of MA and MSc degrees in Islamic Banking and Finance has proved to be extremely successful, attracting students not only from the Gulf States but also from Egypt, Sudan, Pakistan and a number of Islamic banking organizations.
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, Sheikh Hazzas uncle and President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, helped to fund the Centre for Islamic Studies at the University of Wales, Lampeter in 1997.

Miles the Monster takes shape in Lancaster (4/2/08)
Miles the Monster, the mascot of Dover International Speedway, is constructed in Lancaster, Pa. in April of 2008.
Here's an artile I wrote about its construction.
During their 25-year collaboration, Kelly Farrell and Steve Wales never worked on a project as massive as the giant yellow monster taking shape at ACI Composites in the Greenfield Industrial Park.
The sculptors — from Lititz and Millersville, respectively — along with their helper, Brian McSurdy of Strasburg, have been working since November to give form to Miles the Monster, the official mascot of Dover (Del.) International Speedway.
The cartoon sculpture, which will stand 46 feet tall when completed, will be the centerpiece of a new fan zone being built at the NASCAR track, known as the Monster Mile for its treacherous driving conditions.
Miles the Monster will be one of the largest fiberglass sculptures in the United States.
It's like a big puzzle where the pieces don't fit, Wales joked.
ACI Composites, a custom fabrication shop in East Lampeter Township, was awarded the project in late October, and the sculptors started making the chicken-wire form for the beast in November.
Miles will be depicted bursting out of concrete atop a 7-foot Wall of Fame base listing all the NASCAR winners at Dover.
The sculpture will be visible from Route 1 for anyone heading to the Delaware beaches this summer. All one will have to do is look for the monster's two large glowing red eyes.
Farrell and Wales began by making a 4-foot scale model of the final sculpture.
Miles was being fabricated in sections inside ACI's shop and has been taking shape outside since January, including his 60,000-pound steel armature, or skeleton. When fully assembled, he will hold a 600-pound model of a full-size NASCAR race car and be able to withstand 120 mph winds.
We sculpt a small one and make it big — miniature to monumental, Farrell said.
The monster's armature is being covered with yellow foam insulation and carved into the desired shape with grinders and electric chain saws.
Fiberglass eventually will be sprayed over the foam to preserve its shape. The final step will involve spraying a material over the fiberglass to give Miles the look of being made of concrete.
If maintained properly, the builders say Miles could last more than 50 years.
Dwight Miller, owner of ACI Composites, said his company mostly does architectural pieces, such as cornices and columns, but the firm has also worked on other large-scale projects.
ACI built the dome at Sight & Sound Theatre, constructed Hershey characters that stand outside of Chocolate World and created a 26-foot-tall figure of AC/DC lead guitarist Angus Young that went on tour with the band.
However, Miller said his company has never before attempted a project as massive, unique, challenging and fun as Miles. He said the builders also have had fun.
Sometimes you look out and you wonder if the Three Stooges are working out there, and the next time something falls together and you say 'Wow, that really worked,' Miller said, laughing.
Outside of ACI Wednesday, the trio of workers listened to Neil Young's Tonight's the Night on the radio while bolting the enormous steel right arm into place.
McSurdy, who started working for ACI in November, tossed nuts and bolts up to Farrell and Wales as they worked. Farrell yelled Thank you each time he caught an item.
A huge NASCAR fan who watches every race on Sundays, McSurdy said he was excited when he learned he would be working on the project. He has been welding, lifting pieces into place, spraying foam and learning the sculpting trade from Farrell and Wales.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, really, McSurdy said. There won't be too many more jobs like this coming around.
The sculptors expect to have Miles completed by the end of the month. Then they will take it down — cutting it into six pieces — and transport it to Dover.
The monster will be ready for unveiling in Dover on May 14, with NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon taking part in the ceremonies.
Farrell said the project has faced some major challenges, including a tight schedule, but he said it's been exciting.
This is the biggest dancing cartoon I've done, he said.

Video Web Presenter -- which is a combination of interactive online video and a live presenter on a web site. What better way to stand out from the competition and increase sales, than having a real person on the pages of a web site, to talk to the sites visitors!
Video Web Presenter provides that personal touch on a web site. Our research shows that website visitors will be more willing to listen to sales messages, rather than read them. Because a real person has the power to influence, motivate, and persuade prospects faster and with less resistance. Having a Video Web Presenter on a web site is the best-kept secret to dramatically increase Website response rates! Amazingly, this technology requires NO software or plug in to view, No special high-bandwidth connection and NO special hosting requirements for a site.
Normal Web Sites just offer text for a person to read about a company and why a person should work with that business. But now, a web site can have a real sales person present a sales message, special offers and company information, verbally. Video Web Presenter helps businesses to make that all important impact on their customers, something that no other technology can.
For more information about Video Web Presenter please visit videowebpresenter.com , email info@videowebpresenter.com or call 0800 612 8454
