Established in 1988 as the first private university in the GCC, Ajman University (AU) also was the first university in the UAE to admit expatriate students. Our institution continues to be a pioneer for inclusion, innovation, and social impact.

The 2021 QS World University Rankings lists AU as one of the top 750 universities globally with the 3rd most international students and 5th most international faculty among institutions worldwide! The “Top 50 Under 50” QS Rankings names AU as one of the top 150 young universities anywhere. Even our distinct location is ranked by QS as the 60th best student destination on the planet. In 2019, we were awarded “Five QS Stars” in the categories of Social Responsibility, Inclusiveness and Learning Environment.

Each of AU’s 22 undergraduate and 14 graduate programs offer academic rigor as well as hands-on experience. Our 9 colleges are focused on putting imaginations into action for the greater good. Our multinational faculty are experts in their fields, with ever-increasing research capacity. Over the last two years, six AU programs have earned prestigious international accreditations.

In addition to conferring valuable degrees that lead to meaningful careers, we believe our role is to foster every student’s innate sense of curiosity and to inspire lifelong learning. Our global network of 38,000+ alumni is inventing the future right now.

Just had the Best Opening Day experience with Ajman University today because of the friendliness of Ms. Halima, the Student Representative for I.T Dept. All queries related and non-related to I.T was answered and we came out of the university with eagerness to study, and be part of the AU student community. There was even a bus tour provided ! All the staff's we've met were very welcoming to us during our campus tour. I hope to join you in the future ! BIG SHOUTOUT to Halima !! I'd love to give her a 10 star rating if I could :)))
