Answer 1

If the American University of Dubai is an American-style university, which I'd imagine it is, you can transfer to the computer engineering department, even if you're currently studying withthe maths and computing department at your home university. You may also be able to transfer into computer science, if they offer that, and I believe that computer science may be a closer fit to your current course of study. But as the other poster said, do contact the American University of Dubai (you can email them) to ask them your questions directly.

Answer 2

" I want to transfer into one of the undergraduate programs at AUD. Will all of my credits transfer ?

-Transfer of credits is subject to evaluation. Students must provide AUD with official transcripts, course descriptions and in some cases their college/university profiles."

You need to contact the computer engineering department at the American University in Dubai and ask them this question. Explain your current situation and the type of courses you are taking and ask if any of the credits could be transfered to their department. Only people from the university will be able to answer your question with any authority.

Best of luck
