Aqaba University of Technology (AUT) was established in response to the visions of His Majesty, Abdullah II king of Jordan for a comprehensive development in the south of the kingdom and Aqaba governorate in particular. The university has responded to the advice of Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) to establish a private university, so AUT is the first private university in south of the kingdom with an ambitious vision to be a distinguished university and a favorite choice for students from Jordan and the region.

AUT is a Jordanian national institution that has been established to serve the kingdom and the region in general and Aqaba in particular. AUT’s location at Aqaba Special Economic Zone is one of the eye-catching elements, for its location in an area of a higher investment, population and tourism development, compared to the rest of the kingdom's provinces. 
 
AUT has five distinguished faculties: Pharmacy, Engineering, Administrative and Financial Science, Information Technology and the faculty of Arts and Sciences. The first group of student’s has joined the first semester of the academic year 2015\ 2016 in five majors: Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Computer sciences, and Software Engineering and currently, the university working towards establishing new departments.
