About Us

The American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) is a public non-profit, independent, coeducation institution of higher education which delivers an integrated American-style, undergraduate and graduate education with a strong focus on the local indigenous culture.  All of our programs are accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.  The American model of higher education, in addition to developing skills in specific academic fields, also provides a general education curriculum which exposes students to new ideas and new ways of doing things, promoting critical thinking on a wide range of local and global issues. AURAK gives students the opportunity to become fluent in English, as it is the medium of instruction.  By the time of graduation, all of our students have developed a full professional proficiency in English, thus maximizing their prospects in terms of professional careers and further studies. AURAK has handpicked a top class faculty from all over the world, ensuring that students receive the highest possible standard of education, equipping them to become leaders in their field of study, and preparing them to enter the working world as well-rounded, global citizens.
