Arab Academy for Science & Technology and Maritime Transport

The Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) is a prestigious regional university operated by the Arab League.

In 1970, amidst discussions by the Arab League Transport Committee, the seed of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) was sown. Two years later, in 1972, that seed blossomed into a thriving academy in Alexandria, Egypt. Its mission: to become a beacon of maritime education and training in the Arab world.

AASTMT quickly expanded its reach, setting down roots in Cairo and branching out to other Arab nations like Lebanon, Jordan, and Sudan. Collaborations with prestigious institutions like the World Maritime University and the International Association of Universities cemented its reputation as a leader in its field.

The academy's academic offerings flourished, encompassing not just maritime transport and technology, but also engineering, business, computing, logistics, languages, and even specialized fields like fisheries and dentistry. Research and innovation became cornerstones, with dedicated centers tackling challenges like maritime safety and sustainable development.

Recognition poured in, propelling AASTMT to the top ranks of Egyptian and Arab universities. Today, it stands as a vibrant hub for students from across the region, offering world-class education, a diverse student life, and invaluable opportunities for exchange programs and internships. AASTMT's journey is a testament to its unwavering commitment to empowering future generations, shaping not just careers, but a brighter maritime future for the Arab world.

Arab Academy for Science & Technology and Maritime Transport is ranked as the #9 top university in Egypt during 2025. The rank decreased by 4 points from last year.
