A Word From the President

Step Into the Future

The world is changing at an incredible pace. At all levels. The unprecedented advances in technology and communications have changed people’s lifestyle, indeed the whole cultural landscape, as well as the economy and the requirements of the labor market.

Observing the first signs of this evolution, AUT has made the decision, long ago, in fact from its inception, to prepare the new generations for a new era. To remedy the shortcomings of traditional education, AUT put emphasis on developing students’ capacity for teamwork, critical thinking, analytical skills, speaking and writing skills, creativity, and problem solving, which are the skills in high demand by businesses today. The solid theoretical background we provide is supplemented by an application of acquired knowledge in real-life conditions. This new type of education is naturally reflected in the classroom, where students are actively engaged in the learning process.

My young friends, dear students: welcome to the future.

Human Rights Education

AUT is a pioneer in human rights education, introducing in 2005 a course on Human Rights as a required course for all students. A step that was later followed by other Lebanese and Arab universities.

Lifelong Education

AUT is a member of the governing board of the International Association of Universities of the Third Age (IAUTA), an international movement whose aim is to encourage people no longer in full-time work—those in their third age of life—to come together and continue their enjoyment of learning. AUT offers them weekly lectures and crash courses on subjects of interest to them.
