Built in Kuwait, benchmarked internationally
Australian University (AU) was established in 2004 under the name “Australian College of Kuwait” as one of the first private universities to operate in the State of Kuwait. AU offers world-class higher education on home ground through international learning partnerships, with diploma and bachelor’s programs in disciplines including Engineering, Business, Aviation, and Maritime studies.
At AU, we believe that our diversity, excellent learning and research, and commitment to collaboration allow us to create positive change and build a more innovative and sustainable future. The pages of this website provide a summary of our study programs and university life.

Education that mirrors the real world
AU is a student-centered university that enables students to achieve their academic goals and to lead full and rich lives. AU implements experiential models such as Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate (CDIO) — proven modern learning methods that help students make good decisions, adapt, innovate, and develop workplace skills. Internships with local employers, and internationally, give students first-hand experience in their chosen careers.
