Welcome to AUE

The American University in the Emirates – AUE as we are affectionately known – is one of the most rapidly growing universities in the United Arab Emirates. Why do so many students want to study here? This is because AUE offers an American curriculum, taught by highly regarded faculty, who seek to engage our students in excellent learning experiences.

AUE faculty members collectively value our hard-earned reputation for high quality in teaching and related research, and seek to promote intercultural understanding and respect, not as an alternative to a sense of cultural and national identity, but as an essential part of the rapidly changing 21st Century international, regional and national environment.

AUE also offers students accredited undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs that encourage you to become proactive, reflective and critical thinkers and researchers. AUE students learn to become part of a fully engaged community, whose members embrace their own culture and are responsive to other cultures and views.

The American University in the Emirates is motivated by a sense of direction to create a better world through education. This motivation informs the environment for teaching, learning and collaboration in daily work, in such a way that encourages potential new faculty and staff who are attracted to our vision and values to join us, and to help to further develop the University. We hope that you will wish to learn more about our AUE in the web pages ahead, and will be glad to answer any related questions that you might have.
