The Australian University

The Australian University (AU) was established in 2004 under the name of “Australia College of Kuwait” as one of the first private universities operated in the State of Kuwait. AU offers world-class higher education on home ground through international learning partnerships. Offering diploma and bachelor academic programs in different disciplines such as Engineering, Business, Aviation, and Maritime studies.

The principle of AU is demonstrated through its Vision and Mission and is best seized by its intent “To be among Kuwait’s leading higher education institutions recognized for its leadership, academic excellence, student-centered approach, and innovative research”. Such objective is underpinned by AU five Core Values of PRIDE: Progressive; Resilience & Adaptability; Integrity; Dedication; and Excellence.

AU is a student-centered University that enables students to achieve their academic pursuits, in addition to lead full and rich lives. AU implements experiential models as the Project Based Learning (PBL) and Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate (CDIO) as they are proven modern methods of learning to help students learn how to intelligently make good decisions, adapt, innovate, and develop workplace skills. Also, internships within local places of employment, and even internationally, provides the opportunity for students to gain first-hand experience in their desired careers.

At AU, we believe that our diversity, excellent learning and research, and commitment to collaborations allow to create positive change and build a more innovative and sustainable realm.
