Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qassimi, Member of the Supreme Council of the UAE and
Ruler of Sharjah, who envisioned the university as a leading educational
institution in the Gulf region. AUS is an independent, non-profit coeducational
institution. AUS is a leading comprehensive coeducational university in the
Gulf, serving students from the region and around the world.
Sharjah
is a city of learning and the arts, as confirmed by it being named the 2014
Capital of Islamic Culture for the Arab Region and the 1998 UNESCO Cultural
Capital of the Arab World. This context facilitates the university's intention
to be an academic center at the intersection of ancient cultural traditions and
contemporary intellectual currents. The city of Sharjah is home to more than 20
museums with splendid collections of artifacts and art as well as exhibits on
science and natural history. Sharjah also hosts many cultural festivals,
educational conferences, fairs and economic expositions. These resources permit
the university to broaden students' formal education in a way not possible
elsewhere in the region.
American
University of Sharjah is located about 20 minutes' drive from downtown Sharjah
and Dubai. For AUS map and directions, please click here.
