Ajman University: Making Things Happen Since 1988
Ajman University (AU), located in the United Arab Emirates just 20 kilometers from Dubai International Airport, is a place where students are welcomed, challenged, and transformed. We go beyond conferring meaningful degrees to cultivate critical thinkers and ethical leaders for a world in need of viable solutions to shared problems.
AU offers diverse programs across nine specialized colleges, preparing students for success in a competitive global workforce. We believe our role is to foster every student’s innate sense of curiosity and to inspire lifelong learning. In fact, our global network of 45,000+ alumni is inventing the future right now in 102 countries around the world.
AU is a global university in a local community with constant mobility! Our diverse and inclusive cohort of students and faculty travel across the UAE – and around the world – to learn, teach, and make a positive impact. What sets us apart from other institutions is this unique culture of innovation and compassion. We make a difference with our hearts as well as our minds.
Established in 1988 as the UAE's first private university to accept expats, AU has built a reputation for social inclusion, academic excellence, and global impact. We are ranked among the Top 500 of institutions worldwide, according to THE World University Rankings for 2026.
As a non-profit, AU reinvests in its mission to provide accessible education and drive academic excellence, research, and societal impact. In addition to offering competitive undergraduate fees and graduate fees for programs, Ajman University is dedicated to empowering outstanding students through a variety of scholarships. These help provide equal opportunities for students interested in pursuing higher education regardless of their financial situation.
We were the first private, non-profit university in the Arab region to achieve full accreditation from the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) in the USA. Our instituion is also accredited by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) in the UK. Twenty of our programs also boast international accreditation.
Our motto is “Make it Happen” and we live up to this promise every day and in every way. And so will you!
