About Ajman University

Ajman University was founded in 1988 as a non-conventional private institution of higher education. The university was established by His Highness Sheikh Humaid Bin Rashid Al-Nuaimi, Ruler of Ajman and Member of Supreme Council.

On June 17, 1988 His Highness issued an Emiri Decree establishing Ajman University College of Science and Technology (AUCST). In accordance with the Ministry of Education – Higher Education Affairs decree No 54 of 1997, AUCST became Ajman University of Science and Technology (AUST).

The name of the university has been changed from Ajman University of Science and Technology (AUST) to Ajman University (AU) starting from 26th of Oct. 2016, due to the diversity of academic programs offered by Ajman University other than sciences programs.

The UA is a privileged partner of companies and other national and international entities, with which it cooperates on various projects and programmes and for which it provides important services. As a quality research institution, the University of Aveiro develops solutions and innovative products that contribute to technological, scientific, cultural and social improvement.
