Our institution continues to be a pioneer for inclusion, innovation, and social impact. AU is globally accredited at the institution-level by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) of the United Kingdom.

We also offer 3+2 pathways to master’s degrees abroad with leading universities in the USA and UK. With its 9 colleges, 22 undergraduate and 13 graduate degree programs, including 2 doctorate degrees, AU caters to more than 5,500 students each year and has created an impressive network of more than 37,000 alumni since inception, who live and work in various parts of the world. In addition to academic rigor, practical hands-on training, skills-based education and focus on employability.

Ajman university encourages and fosters scientific collaboration in research. AU provides financial support to its faculty members by funding research grants to conduct their research either on an individual basis or by forming international research teams. AU has launched six Research Centers to focus resources and the efforts of researchers in developing key research areas of national and international importance. AU has developed an ‘Open Access Article Processing Charge policy', to facilitate the publishing of high-quality research articles by AU researchers and their outside collaborators in open access journals.

Office of Career services endeavors to serve AU students and alumni by educating them to successfully identify, plan and pursue their career goals. The center supports the mission of the university in its three dimensions - education, information and investment - by providing quality services which will enhance clients’ employment potential, and by liaising with prospective employers.
