American University of the Middle East

The American University of the Middle East in Kuwait, often known as AUM, boasts a relatively young yet impactful history in the region's educational landscape.

The American University of the Middle East in Kuwait, or AUM, emerged in 2007 with a bold vision: bridging the gap between Western knowledge and Middle Eastern sensibilities through stellar American-style education. Starting with just Business Administration and Engineering programs, AUM has flourished into a diverse academic hub.

AUM's dedication to quality education has not gone unnoticed. It has earned accreditation from the Private Universities Council of Kuwait (PUC) and achieved international recognition for several of its programs. AUM aspires to further strengthen its position as a leading educational institution in the region. With its commitment to academic excellence, a diverse and inclusive environment, and a focus on preparing graduates for the globalized world, AUM is poised to continue shaping the future of education in Kuwait and beyond.

American University of the Middle East is ranked as the #1 top university in Kuwait during 2025. This is the same rank as last year.
