Greetings from the American University of the Middle East
Welcome to the launch of the inaugural Times Higher Education Arab University Rankings!
The American University of the Middle East (AUM) is honoured to be the host partner of this once-in-a-lifetime event where THE is bringing us together, as institutions across the Arab world, to cherish excellence and celebrate the strong roots of higher education in the region.
From the heart of the AUM campus, we welcome you with great pleasure. We would love to host you soon here in person, but for now let’s save the date to meet virtually on 27 July to inaugurate the THE Arab University Rankings together.

About the American University of the Middle East
The American University of the Middle East (AUM) is a private university established in 2005 in Kuwait. AUM’s mission is to provide an interactive learning environment that facilitates the development of leaders who are committed to their culture, global ethical values, and professionalism.
AUM prides itself on being an “oasis of learning” in Kuwait. The university started its journey with only hundreds of enrolled students and a small building, to become within the last 10 years a landmark in the private education sector in Kuwait and the region through its curricula, its integrated campus, and its culture, which embraces diversity and innovation.
The campus has been steadily evolving into an educational hub that hosts modernly designed buildings and a mix of green and urban landscape. AUM is considered the largest and most beautiful among private university campuses in the region.
AUM has two colleges: the College of Engineering and Technology and the College of Business Administration, in addition to a Liberal Arts Department and an English preparatory programme.
The College of Engineering and Technology offers seven undergraduate engineering programmes – architectural, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, industrial and mechanical – in addition to two undergraduate technology programmes – information system technology, and telecommunications and networking technology.
The College of Business Administration offers a BSc in accounting and another in business administration with four concentrations – finance, marketing, management information system and human resources management – in addition to an MBA.
Cutting-edge centres offering ground-breaking technologies to advance innovation and research
