Stairway to Success

Innovative programmes at the university and a high employer reputation lead to great career outcomes

Ajman University (AU) was established in 1988 as the first private university in the UAE and GCC and the first higher education institution to accept expatriate students. Since then, it has grown into an innovative, diverse and globally top-ranked, progressive university offering world-class education to both local and foreign students.

AU offers 13 graduate and two doctorate degree programmes, all of which are accredited by the UAE Ministry of Education. The master’s degree programmes offered by AU span the major disciplines of business administration, dentistry, pharmacy, law, mass communications and urban design. Doctorate programmes are offered in the business administration and law disciplines.

All these programmes enjoy global, discipline-specific accreditations such as AACSB, ABET, ACCA, ACPE, AQAS, HCERES and UIA, among others, giving graduates recognition globally for their AU degrees.

Innovative Programmes

Ajman University is among the top few universities in the UAE to offer innovative programmes in new emerging fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and data science. AU’s master of science in AI is becoming increasingly popular among students seeking lucrative careers in data science and AI. In the non-tech disciplines, it has new programmes such as master of science in clinical pharmacy with good career prospects. All master's programmes at AU employ innovative approaches.

In the UAE, AU is ranked among the top six universities. Most notably, AU is ranked second best in the UAE among private universities and third-best among all the UAE-based universities for employer reputation. It means that employers attach high importance to a degree from AU, resulting in great career outcomes after graduation.
