I wish to offer a special greeting to current and potential new students who represent the reason why our faculty and staff dedicate themselves to the creation of a very special environment for teaching and learning at the American University in the Emirates. Our faculty members present lectures, seminars, workshops and lab sessions that together link interestingly presented theory with practice, so as to ensure that their students not only work with textbooks and journals but also learn how to apply the concepts encountered in the classroom.

The American University in the Emirates (AUE) is dedicated to be one of the leading institutions in higher education both nationally, regionally and internationally by providing an integrated pathway for faculty, students and staff to become creative, effective, and productive members.

The ability to carry out research and publish the outcomes requires critical reading, analysis, imagination and problem-solving skills. One of the reasons the institution has set up the Office of Research at AUE, is to provide new focus, resources, guidance and research opportunities for students and academic staff to undertake applied research.
