The American University of the Middle East (AUM) is a leading higher education institution established in 2005 in Kuwait. 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 Program.

AUM is ranked as the Top University in Kuwait and in the Top 751-800 Universities globally in the QS World University Rankings 2022, which makes AUM among the top 3% of universities in the world.

AUM offers world-class academic programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and is designed to provide an intellectually challenging yet engaging and authentic academic environment with the student as the fulcrum of everything that happens there.

As a privately owned university, AUM prides itself on being an “Oasis of Learning” in Kuwait. AUM started its journey with a small building and only hundreds of enrolled students in the first few years, to become within the last 10 years a landmark in the private education sector in Kuwait and the region. Today, AUM has around 11,000 enrolled full-time students, and a fully-integrated campus that stretches over 261,190 square meters is considered as the largest and most beautiful among private university campuses in the region.

The university has a cosmopolitan environment with faculty members and staff coming from more than 60 different countries, encouraging a culture of diversity that celebrates different educational and cultural backgrounds.
